Tell us more about your agricultural experiences:
- I have been keeping 8 backyard chickens, as well as gardening 550 sq. ft., for the past 2 years, going into my 3rd. I am also closing in on a full year working at a local farm in the hoop houses (4). Overseeing garden maintenance (ie: weeding, bed prep, planting, irrigation, composting, mulching, fertilizing, covering, and pest prevention/pressure), harvesting, and then moving the produce into the market. On the market side, I am in charge of the back-stock and market floor produce. Which includes: labeling, organizing cooler, waste management, and inventory. I also do the staging and stocking. I make sure to keep the produce fresh. I am also a member of a team of a rewilding project, bringing flora and fauna back to the land to create a more "wild" and natural landscape. It’s been fun to be able to work on the produce side of things as well as helping with the fruition of a new vision for the farm.
