“Students need help going through school, and we need their help to maintain the farm,” he said.

Shapiro needs students to work on the farm just as much as they need the money they receive for their hard wok, he said.

Stacy Carpio, a 23-year-old prevet major, is the head of the Farm Team, a member of the Pre-vet club and participated in the organization of the event.

She has experienced three Farm Walks, and was took part of organizing two of them so far.

“This was the most successful one so far,” she said. “We could feel that the community really came forward this time.”

Carpio is one of the many volunteers who works daily to maintain the Pierce College Farm. She and other members of the Farm Team take part in the feeding of animals twice a day every day, as well as making sure that they are healthy and treating them if necessary.

“[We raised] a lot of money,” Carpio said. “It’s amazing because not we will be able to buy food for all the animals, and buy tools to make sure they’re healthy.”

Shapiro believes that the reason for the “greater turnout” is the news articles featured in the Roundup, the L.A. Times and the Daily News. He does not take this for granted, he said.

“I think the community now understands that the farm belongs to them, and they demand it stays here,” he said.

Since the community pays taxes for the existence of the college, as well as the farm, Shapiro intends to involve the community as much as he can.

“I consider my boss the community,” he said.
