FULL BIO
I'm working with a friend to bring a new local agriculture to Oberlin's foodshed, and need ideas and labor if you want to help supply to http://commongoodsohio.com/
This year, we will be exploring agricultural realities around Oberlin. Hoophousing, biochar, seed starting, household chicken coops, organic farming, compost, community gardening, worm bins... if you have a project idea support it, and let's keep the rest of the land around Oberlin from being developed!

In 2013-2015, we will be establishing a new center for organic farmers in our Costa Rican location in the sunny province of Limon. The agency combines the best of research, government extension, farming practices, hospitality. Eventually we hope to investigate sustainable dairy production, food processing, and international shipping from Costa Rica.
