Farmhand Feature: Luiza Alton
Meet Luiza! Luiza keeps Farmboy running smoothly, tracking, analyzing, and enabling behind the scenes. When she’s not preparing cashflow forecasts or mastering US sales tax, she’s learning how to raise three kids — including a toddler who loves Ms. Rachel songs! Originally from Brazil, Luiza’s happy place is her family’s coconut farm near Maceió, where she grew up and got married. If she wasn’t an accountant, she’d be a nomad, but we’re lucky to have her changing lives through art right here.
