IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, USA, May 18, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Enjoy a one-mile walk around a real working farm for young and old alike. This year's event will have samples of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as the opportunity to walk directly into the fields and harvest right off of the vine. Educational signage, entertaining performances, friendly volunteers, and children's crafts are also available along the walk. This year will also feature the "Issei and Nisei Farmers: Their Legacy" a collection of farm family memories of stories and photographs.

Since 2011, thousands have joined together each year at Tanaka Farms in Irvine, California. And, as a community, have raised funds for: farmers to rebuild, for agricultural students to receive scholarships, and for new farmers to receive much-needed assistance. This year Ms. Kurita and Ms. Kobayashi, two scholarship recipients from Fukushima University, will be there to witness firsthand the generosity and support of the Japanese American community.
