Today’s Greatitude

Farmworker Appreciation Day is celebrated on August 6 annually.

This day aims to raise awareness about the importance of the work that people do on the farm. Farmworkers toil under the hot summer sun to bring in the harvest. Every year, you can see them as you are driving by the fields.

Most of their work only happens during summer, and this means that many of these individuals return to their home country when the season is over.

Farmworkers are unsung heroes ensuring our food and crops are planted, picked, harvested and transported and this day is special to honor and thank them for all they have done.
