We are thrilled to introduce our new farmer, Trik, who arrived just in time for a season of new beginnings.
Trik moved to Petaluma in mid-February and has already hit the ground running at the Bounty Farm. Here’s a little bit about Trik in Trik’s own words.
“Hi Petaluma People, my name is Trik and I’m honored to be Petaluma Bounty’s new Farm Manager. I’m from Philly, PA (East Coast pride) and I started farming about 6 or 7 years ago in Cave Junction, Oregon. When I returned to Philly, I began managing urban farms and focusing on-farm education.
I have a passion for showing anyone and everyone the beauty of growing your own food. I’m a firm believer in people-power and the power of community and hope to immerse myself in Petaluma now that it’s my home!
Along with farming, I’m passionate about herbal medicine and prison abolition. I play bass and drums and love funk/soul/R&B. In my free time, I like to go hiking, skateboarding, and spend time with my 27-toed cat, Pebble. Thanks so much in advance for welcoming me to this beautiful farm and I’m so excited to meet you all!”
Trik uses the pronouns they/them/he/him. You can reach Trik by visiting the farm or by emailing farm@petalumabounty.org
We would be remiss not to give a huge shoutout to Trik’s predecessor, Reyna, who continued to dedicate her time and expertise as she passed on the torch. Thanks, Reyna, and welcome, Trik!
