    Our entire yard is a garden.

    1/4 acre of fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, local flowers, shrubs, grasses, a lot of vegetables, a greenhouse, chickens, a small swamp. It’s gone from a grey clay death zone to a deep beautiful rich soil and an area that is teeming with life and food for all the life it supports. It is regenerative and balanced. To offset our agriculture practices we keep 250 acres of old growth forest under our care and protection. Permaculture, Korean natural farming, modern and traditional farming and environmental knowledge all play a part in what we have accomplished.

    It wasn’t easy to get here. We aren’t rich and we never will be. Just know it is possible. Before we lived in our little paradise we converted a regular city lot to the same type of setup.
