BCS products came to America in the early 1970’s at a time when Americans were re-discovering the joys of vegetable gardening and pursuing self-sufficiency. Almost forty years later, there are now many tens of thousands of BCS owners in the US and Canada. Like BCS in Italy, the mission of BCS America is to increase your productivity and reduce the physical effort required to accomplish your outdoor tasks, projects, and farm work.

And onto our conversation with…

Doug Wolcik is the head farmer at Gaining Ground, a non-profit farm in Concord, MA with about 3 acres in production. We discuss how they have transitioned from tractor-based tillage to no-till production, streamlined volunteer management by simplifying the processes around the farm, establishing perennial hedgerows, growing and distributing a massive amount of food, and how they are leveraging their non-profit organization to document and study the ecological and nutritional benefits of reducing tillage on the farm.
