Summary
As a organic farm co-owner and operator, I had to do a wide variety of tasks. From record keeping, customer relations, budgeting, to field work, bed prep, transplanting, seeding, etc. I only had one other farm co-owner and we did everything ourselves. Operating the farm taught me so much about running my own business and working with the natural world. It taught me how to better care for people and the planet. We worked with nature rather than against it and learned that organic and regenerative practices yield spectacular results. I love the work of farming and I hope to be able to continue that work in the future.
