Harvested grapes for the wine season at a sustainable winery, and contributed to the success of the wine season by ensuring the quality and yield of grapes for wine production.

Farmhand duties included planting seedlings for various vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and lettuce.
