SANGWOODGOON
Farmer Sze Chung is no stranger to farming sustainably. He and his 3 partners have been tending to their land with permacultural principles in mind. Since they joined us last year, they have transitioned to regenerative farming and it has changed the way they farm – instead of focusing on just the crops themselves, Sze Chung has voiced that it is even more important to take care of the soil. We are often unsure how quickly we can see positive changes after adopting the switch, but in Sangwoodgoon’s case, they managed to see a lower quantity and variety of both pest and weeds in less than 6 months. Such an outcome also allowed farmers to prepare for the next growing season much faster than before.
Farmer Sze Chung has seen positive changes in his crops too through cover cropping and continuous companion planting experimentation. Besides, he is a huge fan of bioactive liquid plant nutrients and ferments, leading him to expand his station and make more of it. They are excited to see what their regenerative journey will bring them.
Produce Grown: Seasonal crops, cucumbers, pumpkin, winter melon, corn, sweet potato, okra, french beans etc.

“I think there are some significant changes,
including how the soil's texture changed. It
becomes softer and less compacted, the
number of weeds or varieties of it reduced
which allowed me to apply crop rotation
easier.”
