Zoe Davis holds a B. A. in Chemistry, a Ph. D. in Microbiology, and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biochemistry before trading lab benches for garden beds. After years studying microbes in the lab, she moved to Gilroy to work with them in the soil, founding Full Circle Farm, a regenerative farm focused on cultivating soil life to grow nutrient-rich produce. The farm uses minimal tillage, cover crops, and lots of mulch to build soil fertility the natural way. Full Circle Farm offers a CSA with fruit, veggies, eggs, and flowers from April through November and on-farm produce pickups year-round.
