I'm a regenerative farmer, certifed permaculture designer, and educator based out of southeast Pennsylvania with over 13 years experience in sustainable agriculture and permaculture systems. Our permaculture farm - Hundred Fruit Farm, in Buckingham, PA - was started in 2015 and includes a mixed species fruit and nut orchard; silvopasture systems; mushroom and vegetable production; and forest gardens.

I've been involved with organic farming since 2006 and became interested in permaculture soon thereafter at the Panya Project in Thailand. I spent the next two years in Sweden completing my master's degree, in which I focused on permaculture as a tool for sustainable development. I then set to work applying my permaculture and sustainable development skills as a permaculture farm manager and educator in Thailand and at The Island School in The Bahamas until returning to Southeast PA to start Hundred Fruit Farm in 2015. At Hundred Fruit Farm I divide my time between building a resilient and diverse permaculture farm, creating permaculture designs for local clients, and facilitating/teaching an annual permaculture design course at our farm.
