Excerpt from the Community Food Co-Op newsletter:
Solar panels, timed irrigation, and systems to create on-farm compost are just a few examples of technological innovations developed by Chris and Mia Devine. Energy resource specialists Mia and Chris have helped other farms reduce their carbon footprint while constantly pushing the limits of small-scale farming.
A nominator summed it up by saying:
“Small Acres is one of the best examples of small-scale sustainable agriculture done right in Whatcom County. They have been an amazing resource for other farmers and have approached their farming practices with great intention and forethought.”
