Massa Organics

Web Site: http://www.massaorganics.com/

In Brief: Massa Organics is part of a small family farm located along the Sacramento River near Chico, CA. As former biologists, we believe our famr must be an integral part of a functioning ecosystem. Farming offers a unique opportunity for hands-on conservation & social work. We strive to have positive impacts on the quality of our air, water and soil. For example, we capture and recirculate our irrigation water, plant cover crops during fallow seasons and do not burn any crop residue. We share our land and harvests with wildlife as much as possible. At Massa Organics, community is paramount. We wish to reconnect our farm with the greater community so that the people eating our rice will know how it was grown and by whom. We take leadership roles in several community organizations, from grassroots farming groups & CSA's (Community-Supported Agriculture), to foster care advocacy. We also host field-trips for area-schools.
