Please elaborate on the type(s) of agricultural operation you plan on running:
Primarily a vegetable operation (market garden). I am also interested in expanding to cover crop seed sales, animal products, and perennials. Ideally I want an operation that will localize our food system and make healthy food more accessible to a community. I wish to use regenerative farming practices to improve soil health, sequester carbon, and help community members connect with nature through their food system.

Tell us more about your agricultural experiences:
- I have worked on numerous small scale vegetable farms, most recently a no-till, regenerative farm that focuses on soil biology. This well known farm is highly productive and profitable while increasing wildlife populations and reducing water demands on the farm. I specialized in soil science in college and am interested in farming in a bio-intensive system. I have worked with multiple CSA models, farmers markets, and wholesale accounts. I also have experience with mechanical equipment and tools and with NRCS conservation plans.
