Welcome to the Gill Tract Community Farm Blog!

Our blog features the voices of community members who share their experiences at the farm, ranging from student interns, volunteers, and educators of all backgrounds.

In Spring 2024, we featured a series of blog posts by our student research interns. These internships have been made possible through collaborations between core farmers, UC faculty Dr Tim Bowles and Dr Jennifer Sowerwine, StopWaste, the City of Albany, the Xerces Society, Sogorea Te Land Trust, and the National Resource Conservation Service. Check out student interns' blog posts to learn about their experiences at the farm! Filter by category "Student Intern Blogs"
