- Covering Ground Farm is a newly established small-scale, bio-intensive market garden. It sprouted from growing and selling microgreens as an internship during my last semester at Chico State University.
- Covering Ground Farm has since expanded to a 2 acre plot a couple minutes from downtown Chico. The focus of CGF is mixed crop production and regenerative agriculture practices. The farm will be evolving throughout the summer by establishing more veggie blocks for cultivation. Job duties will include prepping living soil beds, establishing hedgerows, overhead and drip irrigation, seeding/planting fruit and vegetables, harvesting, post-harvest processing, and more.
