Goals, Values, Vision

I am an agroecologist seeking out land to construct a native, food-producing, perennial garden. I am interested in creating produce to provide to communities around me while designing a system that maximizes the efficiency of harvests by wielding ecosystem services to support productivity.

I want to facilitate urban perennial gardens to support food sovereignty. I have a background in ecology and agriculture consultation. 

I am committed to constructing a high yielding, low input operation that centers abundance without sacrifice.

Certified Organic, Organic Practices, Conventional

I incorporate principles of agroecology into my design for food plots. I prioritize organic practices but I am more concerned with facilitating the land's capacity to feed itself rather than relying on external inputs.
