Juri Jennings was one of the parents isolated by stay at home mandates and needed support. She connected with Adrianna Santiago and they formed a bubble, which allowed Juri’s son Niko (one year old at the time) to wander around Shy Acre Farm with Adrianna (primary farmer at the time). When Juri witnessed her son connect to the land and fill with wonder as he padded barefoot over berry patches, she wished other people could experience this too.
