Micro-farmer along with my husband Tom, selling at Farmer's market and via e-mail list. Working on local Food Network and strengthening our local food system. Work part-time in a bakery which uses local ingredients for many of our lunch entrees and soups.

Came to permaculture a few years ago via various sources, including friends who have been studying it for several years. Attended some workshops, read some books and now trying to apply concepts more intentionally on our property.

Developing a food forest on our property, studying Dave Jacke's work. Shifting some of our gardening strategies to more integrated multi-level plantings, trying to take advantage of various site elements such as microclimates, slopes, etc. Already had some basic elements in place in terms of the zones.
