Personal experience and production goals summary:
I have previously worked for 3 small-scale farms learning about no-till vegetable production. I aim to start my own farm in order to grow food in a way that builds soil and produces nutrient-dense food for the community. While working remotely as a software engineer, I plan to build my farm business until it is able to replace my engineering job. I am an extremely hard worker and passionate about farming in order to regenerate the environment, build community, and promote health.
