For Simranjit Singh, spending time in his family s almond and raisin fields is the most therapeutic thing I could ever ask for. He says it s something he could never give up.
Singh is a 28-year-old farmer in a town 15 miles west of Fresno, Calif., called Kerman.
His extended family gathered on the farm last weekend to celebrate Vaisakhi, a farming holiday celebrated annually on April 13 or 14, and throughout the month.
Vaisakhi marks the spring harvest and the new year for Indians far and wide, but for Sikh Punjabis, it holds deeper meaning. It s when the 10th spiritual leader of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, established the Khalsa, formalizing the Sikh religion.
