Our Gardens Are Vital for Our Well-Being

Assessing plant health goes beyond just observing size and color. To comprehend plant wellness, it’s important to pay attention to finer details such as color, structure, reproductive ability, uniformity, adaptability, and resistance to environmental stressors. A plant’s taste, aroma, and texture can also reflect its health. We can gain insight into the health of the soil in a simular way, by sharpening our senses, and observing what is happening under our feet.

About Faith

Faith is a soil health guide with over a decade of experience in farming, education, and research. Her journey towards becoming a soil health enthusiast was shaped by her zeroing in on her interests, studying, experimenting, observing, reflecting, and repeating. She started building her foundational understanding of soil health while studying soil microbiology, permaculture principles, and plant biology in college. She later spent over a decade developing and managing a 3+ acre project farm, which she transitioned into a thriving perennialized, diverse polyculture system interlaced with annual fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

She regards her farm as a living laboratory and stewards it with regenerative principles, biological nutrient cycling, on-farm DIY fertility inputs, community outreach, education, and research. She has also studied with many of the present-day luminaries in the fields of biological farming, regenerative agriculture, Nutrition Farming™, soil microbiology, permaculture, Korean Natural Farming, and more. Faith holds a deep desire to support a more synergistic farming future by guiding and supporting growers to develop a reciprocal relationship with the land they manage.
