Bok Choy Meets Black Dirt
“When I first got here, I was amazed,” said farmer Christina Chan. “Oh, it really is black dirt. It’s not a misnomer.” Chan is the founder of Choy Division, a half-acre farm in the black dirt of Chester, NY focused on growing East Asian heritage crops using regenerative agricultural techniques. “It’s so beautiful, but as I worked it, holy s***, there are a lot of weeds.”
