An Imagining Community conversation with farmer and cultural activist Eric Chisler regarding Rock Creek Regenerative Farm, a small Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm with ecologically-informed regenerative practices in Chico, CA. The farm uses no till practices to dramatically improve the health of the soil and it's ability to retain water. The agriculture.com article from 3/5/2021, no-till saved their farm[1], is an excellent resource for the regenerative properties of no-till farming.
