Reported by Jessica Lu :
On October 14th, 2023, Murrieta AYLUS members went to a local farm to help with the Pumpkin Harvest.
Members lifted pumpkins to the people in the boxes and they would set the pumpkins down. Members carefully lifted pumpkins by the bottom, not by the stem, in case they would rip the pumpkin. After members finished all the picked pumpkins, they went and helped carry the other pumpkins laying around on the field to the area where the rest of the pumpkins were clustered together. Some pumpkins were too heavy so somebody brought a tractor over to lift the pumpkins over. Then, they started removing the pumpkin plants and the plastic covers, and rolled up the plastic covers after they were removed. Members took a break after, enjoying their doughnuts. Then, members finished up by throwing all the bad pumpkins down the cliff.
