When Walter Roberts first started working part time at the Capital City Farm in Trenton, New Jersey, the hot sun and manual labor made the job difficult for him but in four years, the 46-year-old says he has grown to love being a farmer.
“I’ve learned how to work tillers, lawnmowers with gears on it, and maintenance equipment,” Roberts said in an interview. “I’ve planted everything like tomatoes and cucumbers and I’ve harvested it at all. I know exactly how things work.”
