O’Saurus farms

I’m a scientist turned farmer seeking a land share agreement. I come with a built in work team that is fueled by the mission of ending food apartheids and feeding the community with fresh, beautiful, and delicious produce. I bring hands-on experience in organic growing methods, permaculture design, and small-scale farm management. I’m comfortable with planning crop rotations, managing compost systems, and using low-impact tools and techniques. I also have skills in community outreach, cooperative decision-making, and collaborative land use—all of which are essential in a shared farming context. I’m a continuous learner, always open to feedback, and deeply committed to both environmental care and strong community relationships.

Goals, Values, Vision

My vision is to co-create a thriving, resilient farm that nurtures both people and the planet. I see the land as a living system, and I’m committed to caring for it through practices that enhance biodiversity, conserve water, and restore soil fertility. I want the farm to be a welcoming space that contributes to a healthy local food system and serves as a demonstration site for sustainable agriculture.
