While training for a position in an office setting, Coronel       saw a presentation about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.albafarmers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ALBA<\/a>, the Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association and       knew that a farming path was more aligned with her passions and interests: \u201cWhen I saw       this opportunity, and they explained to me how everything worked, I said, \u2018That       <em>is<\/em> right: Here you can give it your all because it\u2019s for you, for       your future, for your family, and to help people.\u2019 And so, I changed [back] to       agriculture, because that was for       me.&#8221;<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>After successfully completing the       yearlong training program emphasizing both classroom and hands-on fieldwork, Coronel secured       half an acre, where she has begun to put learning into action. Coronel grows various organic       vegetables like celery and kale, but growing lettuce has been the most rewarding for the new       farmer. \u201c[After] entering the trainings and because I was a lettuce packer, I got excited       when I heard them speak [about lettuces],\u201d she says. \u201cAnd then, I saw my own       lettuces planted! This is the best thing I\u2019ve done.\u201d<sup>2<\/sup> After       years of working and processing lettuce on other people\u2019s farms, Coronel now has an       opportunity to become her own boss and produce organic food for her family and the community.       \u201cNow it\u2019s more like, <em>you<\/em> watch how everything grows,       <em>you<\/em> plant, <em>you<\/em> repair the soil,       <em>you<\/em> watch the daily growth, and it\u2019s       beautiful.\u201d<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Coronel\u2019s goal is to       continue expanding the operation every year, learning more at each stage. With support from       ALBA, fellow graduates, and family at home, this goal feels possible to Coronel: \u201cIt is       nice to have teammates and feel a good vibe, because we spend all day here, and well,       it\u2019s like a family too. You have a family at home and have another family here too, which       is so nice. My children are so excited that I am doing this; they like it and support me. I       know I am on the right path.\u201d<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Coronel       understands the benefits and rigors of farming, and with a grant from CCOF, training from       ALBA, and support from her friends and family, Coronel is on a promising path to becoming a       lifelong organic farmer.<\/p>\n<p>Last year was the first time that the CCOF       Foundation supported Celsa Coronel\u2019s career in organic agriculture. Coronel plans to       continue learning and growing organically, to graduate from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.albafarmers.org\/our-work\/#incubator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Organic Farm       Incubator<\/a> program, and to expand to a larger property with more acreage in the       coming years.
