A farm profile from CSU Chico’s Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems documenting Scott Park’s 50-year journey from conventional processing tomato farming to one of California’s most celebrated large-scale regenerative organic operations. Covers his 1985 soil revelation, his participation in the USDA NRCS Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) project with UC Extension, Chico State, and Fresno State to research reduced tillage on organic vegetable farms, the intangible and financial benefits of healthy soil (drought resilience, input savings, yield gains of 30–40%), his “targeted tillage” and “controlled traffic” approach (after finding 100% no-till didn’t work), and his farm’s first-in-California Regenerative Organic Certification in 2022.
