Phases of Abundance with Stefan Sobkowiak of the Permaculture Orchard - Ep. 1
This summer, we visited @StefanSobkowiak at his famous cold climate Permaculture Orchard near Montreal, Quebec (Zone 4) to learn more about his farm as an ecosystem, his farm as a business, and how his farm fits into his life.
This is the first in a series of short videos resulting from our visit. In this video, Stefan shares how he's applied Bill Mollison's "Three Phases of Abundance" in designing and evolving his project over the past 30 years, and shares numerous valuable lessons he's learned along the way.

Fixing New Farmer Mistakes - Arcadia Permaculture - Spring 2023
มุมมอง 559ปีที่แล้ว
In our third spring on this land, we're really starting to see the impacts of the work we've done so far. In doing that work, we've made a lot of mistakes that create even more work for us through the growing season. This spring we set about fixing several of them, and applying the lessons we've learned from the farmers, gardeners, and permaculture practitioners we've met along the way. This vi...
A Year In the Life of a Pastured Chicken
มุมมอง 147ปีที่แล้ว
The people who buy eggs from us always want to know why the eggs are so friggin' delicious. The answer is deceptively simple - we honour the chicken-ness of the chicken. We respect our birds by mimicking the conditions of a wild flock, and gently steering their natural instincts towards things that help make our farm more fertile and productive as a whole. There are few things more important th...
Tour of A Scavenger's Food Forest
มุมมอง 1.9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Four years ago, our brother in law Patrick started a food forest on his semi-rural 1 acre lot in Quebec, Canada, north of Ottawa (Zone 4). Working on a limited budget, his project has grown by leaps and bounds through plant trades, seed swaps, grafting, cuttings, and scavenging materials. We visited in late summer, 2022, to check in on the project, see how he's applying permaculture principles ...

This July we visited@CanadianPermacultureLegacy - a 2 acre food forest in growing zone 5, in Ontario Canada. Keith was kind enough to give us a full tour of the property, and share a bunch of lessons learned over 6 years of working on growing more food for his family.

Natural Themes Native Plant Nursery - Farm Tour
มุมมอง 1.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Natural Themes Farm near Frankford, Ontario is a real treasure. Run by Bea Hessler, she is a one-stop shop for plants native to North-Eastern North America - trees, shrubs, flowers, vines, and even cacti - as well as an inspiring philosophy on natural farming. We visited for a tour last summer, and left with a whole new perspective on our garden goals. We'll be planting a whole lot of native pl...

A quick video this time, since there's not much going on around the farm during winter. A little tour of the "deep litter" winter quarters for the laying hens, our outdoor rink, and a check in on the cats. The rest of the time we're spending planning, working on projects, and having leisurely morning coffees by the wood stove.
