Restoration Agriculture
Grant Schultz
We recently had the pleasure of visiting one of the premier examples of broadacre permaculture in the US, 106-acre New Forest Farm in Viola, Wisconsin. Mark Shepard and family have sculpted New Forest Farm from a cookie-cutter row-crop operation into a diverse and productive farm of meat, fruit, nuts, and honey (much more than milk and honey).
Mark has also recently released his book Restoration Agriculture: Farm-scale Permaculture for Farmers
Here's a recent talk Mark gave at ACRES USA Conference in Louisville, Kentucky this December.
Thanks Mark and Jen for being wonderful hosts and putting a positive woosh on the Earth!
