Organic grower · Sustainability designer
Organic grower, permaculture designer, and a data analyst at heart. Years of exploring nature, its soil, water and seasons, much of it side by side with other growers. The vision: food forests everywhere.
We let natural forces do the heavy lifting: sun, water, slope and living soil. Then we shape the land gently, so it works well for everyone, including us.
Watch the seasons, the water and the soil, and write a little down each day. Over the years, patterns appear, and the land starts telling us what it needs.
A hedge is shelter, habitat and harvest at once. Straw becomes mulch, and a good season's surplus becomes a meal for someone else.
Looking further ahead: food forests on many properties, planted to feed people for generations.
Places and people we've had the chance to grow with.
