Portrait of Californian farmer Nigel Walker.

“When I arrived here the soil was dead”. 

“We want to bring the biology to the soil. We monitor the soil with a microscope and look at what we have and what we are missing so we have a complete balance”. 

“The microscope is an important tool on the farm. We have tractors, we have equipment, we have iPhones and we have microscopes! We need it to monitor the soil so we can get the right biology for the crops we are growing”.

“I love to grow oranges as a lot of people at Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) like citrus, especially in the winter! It's a lot of fun growing citrus, a real thrill to pick it ripe from the tree and taste as it's supposed to taste like”.
