While the young people on the Levi’s Nek farm may have unequal skills and potential, there is a constant desire on the part of the group for everyone to be involved in the farm’s activities.
The strongest prepare the soil, while the weakest look after and feed the animals. For the crafts, inclusion was also the guiding principle.
If we can’t entrust a grinder to a young person who can’t hold it safely, we can entrust him with a paintbrush to paint the finished object, which will give him the pride of having participated in the collective creation of objects for the farm.
