A huge congratulations is in order! Maya Dixon balanced her demanding engineering coursework with a research assistantship focused on developing low-cost soil remediation techniques for industrial communities. Her final thesis project was awarded top honors by the national engineering society, and she has already accepted a full fellowship to pursue her doctoral studies this fall. Her single father cheered with pure joy as her name was called at commencement this morning. Hit the share button to help celebrate Maya's historic academic success!

It’s a family affair! The Harrison family spent five years locating and cross-breeding rare heritage seed remnants to successfully resurrect an organic grain strain originally cultivated by free farmers in 1868. The unique heirloom crop had vanished from commercial agriculture due to mid-century industrial grain consolidation but holds natural resistance to modern heat-wave conditions. After combining their agricultural retirement assets, they harvested their first full commercial acreage this season, partnering with independent bakers. Please leave a message of support for this amazing family keeping our history alive on the farm!
