Review for From The Ground Up Farms, Inc., Chico, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The love pouring out of these people and their smiles is a light at the end of a tunnel! Actually, they light up the entire tunnel! They have been so sincere and kind through all of these disastrous times here in Butte County. They are constantly thinking of ways to help our small, rural community of Concow. From gas cards to food distribution, they do it all! Buying a wood mizer wood mill and allowing us to turn dead burnt trees into lumber is only ONE of the helpful projects they have taken on. Due to their generosity and genius, my family of six were able to sleep in a “tiny home” that my husband built with milled lumber. In a camper, when the winter winds blow, you feel like you’re on a ship. I felt ever so grateful to be inside a building, nursing my baby and watching the trees dance and sway in the winter storms. We had stable walls and didn’t rely on the camper for sleeping. The mental health boost alone is worth a life time of thank yous!! They are also closely related to a community garden that is still happening even though COVID makes things hard. They have the best intentions and make things work! Many hands make work light, and they lighten up everything they touch. Their logo of a light bulb is so fitting. We are forever grateful for all their help. **Pictures are of an art day I did with the local kids in the tiny home/shed (so you can’t share that one since I did not get their parents’ permission) and the other pic is my baby in the tiny home/shed before we even had insulation. Last picture is my husband and sons helping put up trim.
