i volunteered one (1) halfday on an organic farm and it was a tremendous, unacceptable amount of work. harvest root vegetables at 7am, wash them in the coldest water you've ever felt at 730am, pack the CSA boxes for pickup, harvest wheat by hand (spoiler: it's pointy like foxtails), manually kill bugs, i don't really remember what else we did. but we ended by picking sun-warmed strawberries around 12pm and they were the best strawberries i've ever eaten.
farming is exhausting and no child should be expected to do it except voluntarily
Children? Not unless it’s done under some serious supervision so they don’t get abused, but if it was it would be a good learning environment, like a camp where you learn for a few weeks of the year is fine.
As a learning opportunity, yes. But they shouldn’t be considered “productive assets” or whatever
