Santa Cruz area farm workers harvested these #Halloween pumpkins. Here's what you don't know about your holiday pumpkin: The vines have tiny hairs that are irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory system so workers have to stay well covered while harvesting them. #WeFeedYou

"Juan" and "Raul" are putting out reflecting panel below the apple trees. This panel maximizes the sunlight reaching the trees lower branches and helps with the coloring, sugar content and quality of the fruit. They work 5-6 days a week and move orchards as needed. #WeFeedYou

My hands, wrists and shoulders ache just at the thought of this work. For decorations. I'm finding my take on decor is changing as I age, as I watch my budget, and as I am more aware of the real cost. Do I buy to keep them working? Or do I forego because the work is brutal/dangerous? #theyfeedyou
Pumpkins get from the fields to our homes for #Halloween Jack-o'-lanterns thanks to the labor of farm workers like these Moorpark CA farm workers who load each pumpkin by hand into the large cardboard box before shipping to cities ahead of Halloween. #WeFeedYou

"Luz" works in the fields in Salinas, CA, packing celery. "The crew I work in averages 1,000 boxes a day with each box containing 30 individual stalks of celery. This is very hard work. I have to pack very quickly. We work for piece rate and earn $1.95/box." #WeFeedYou

"Lupe" shared this video saying, "It’s 96° in Gonzales. CA law requires employers to provide shade for workers. But in this non-union cauliflower field, there’s only one shade structure for over 40 workers. It isn't right to put workers' lives at risk." #WeFeedYou

"Joel" sent this vid of farm workers harvesting tomatoes in Gilroy CA. They earn 93¢/25lb bucket. Pickers carry two buckets as that allows them to work quicker. Walking over the uneven terrain with this heavy weight puts a lot of strain on their body. #WeFeedYou

A 24 year old farm worker was killed by heat in Mississippi.
No worker should be killed on the job, but we still have no enforceable federal heat protection rules. 1/

"Ava" says, "I’ve worked in the broccoli fields since early 2000. I enjoy every part of my job from cutting to packaging. I can do it all w/my eyes closed. I have years of experience, but I'm not paid for it. I don’t get incentives, benefits & just earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

"Julia" shared this photo with us from the carrots in the Cuyama CA area. "We are paid piece rate and we only are given 4 hours of work a day. This makes it impossible to cover our expenses. The high was 97° when this photo was taken." #WeFeedYou

"Edgar" shared this pic saying, "This is how I celebrated Labor Day - harvesting hops. I started at 4pm and worked to 1am. I work 5 days a week. I earn WA min wage w/no benefits. My job requires a lot of concentration as a mistake could cause a serious accident." #WeFeedYou

“Jesus” and a crew of 20 men are opening rows and laying down plastic for CA min wage. "They rarely give these jobs to woman because it’s hard labor. This means we only have one income. My kids just went back to school. I wasn’t able to buy them new clothes or shoes." #WeFeedYou

"Elsa" is harvesting carrots in Cuyama CA. "It is exhausting work especially with the high temps lately. We don't get paid well. We earn $3.05 per box, and each box contains 24 bunches of carrots. If our group make 200 boxes, the group divides the amount equally." #WeFeedYou

"Julio" is harvesting mandarins in Reedley CA. "First we pick the larger mandarins. Then go back to pick the smaller ones. We earn min wage and work 8 hrs/day. The shears we need to harvest aren't provided. We have to buy our own which cost $15-$20." #WeFeedYou

"Raul" shared, "Pruning apple trees in the winter cold here in WA state is very hard. We spend our days going up and down ladders - that gets slippery - to cut the branches. Frozen branches are brittle. Sometimes they break unexpectedly. We need to be very careful." #WeFeedYou
