Mexican-America: Woodburn, Or.

The Mexican town we looked around was so interesting because there were many shops which the shopkeeper is from Mexico, the words are written in Spanish, and the goods are from Mexico.… The reason why so many Mexicans live in theis town is because it is surrounded by farms. Farms hire Mexican immigrants for their cheap labor and hard-working skills. 

We visited one farm, the Bauman farm, which in managed by a couple. It was different from most farms: it was full of fun, surprise, and naturally made fruits, veggies, and flowers. The things sold in the shop were all made from their farm.  Also, they were making an amusement park next to the farm and shops so that many families can visit there with kids.
