A Former Students Testimonial – Jamie Golden
Name and where are you from?
Jamie Golden, from San Francisco
What are you doing these days?
I am working at Open Field Farm, a 500 acre organic, biodynamic farm. We have a 100-member CSA. We grow vegetables, grains, beans, dry corn. We also have a U-pick flower field and herb field. We have a herd of cattle for beef, a dairy cow, and about 300 laying chickens.
What was the most valuable or challenging thing you studied or learned while at the GFS?
My time at the GFS was extremely valuable to me because it exposed me to so m
any different skills, ideas, and farms (with their diverse ways of doing things) that I entered my new position on a farm crew ready to complete the tasks I would be asked to do. The ideas and knowledge I gained from the GFS program have given me a broad range of perspectives that allow me to be adaptable and consider all factors before making decisions. The GFS was a strong foundation that will lead me to find my place within the agricultural world.
