This is Jacob, a graduate of Bridgewater College and one of our past interns here at Jubilee! Jacob's work at the farm has been centered on the research, design, and planting of the riparian buffer along Muddy Creek - mostly working on the design of the buffer and spacing the trees so that they have the best chance of surviving. They made sure there was an efficient maintenance system so the saplings would keep growing and the buffer zone would become a productive part of the farm. They also worked on other projects at Jubilee, primarily the silvopasture swales, and helped build the chicken coop! They have also worked at a food pantry garden attached to Bridgewater College and have been working on adapting some of the agricultural techniques we use at the farm; raised beds, polyculture, and intercropping; to the space available at BC!
