SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS
Build a long term community of practice with us!
Have you ever been to the Perennial Farm Gathering and wished you had more time to talk to people who are practicing perennial agriculture? This year, you can continue the conversation well after the PFG ends, and even find new people to connect with and share experiences and lessons-learned.
We are using the Perennial Farm Gathering to launch a Perennial Community of Practice. You will be able to continue to access this site and the information on it after the conference ends. Additionally, we will keep the conversation going with follow-up webinars and workshops. This means, questions can be answered, discussions continued, and inspiration can be gained all year round.
Check out this map of attendees!
Hundreds of farmers and researchers from across the Midwest and around the world are gathered to share knowledge, experiences, and enthusiasm for perennial agriculture.
The Perennial Farm Gathering was recorded on December 6th – 9th, 2020.

Hello, Wil Crombie joining you from southern Minnesota. I am the communications specialist for Savanna Institute. I am also a farmer and raise Tree-Range Chicken on my families land. We have 40+ acres of mixed agroforestry including oaks, sugar maples, chestnuts, hazelnuts and elderberries. I am looking forward to learning from you all and very excited about silvopasture systems.
Hi, this is Kathy Dice from southeast Iowa, Red Fern Farm. We raise a variety of tree crops on our gently sloping farm ground. During the conference Tom and I will be taking time out to try to harvest some deer on the more rugged parts of our farm. Email me for a great recipe for Stir-fry Orange Venison.
Hello everyone! Welcome to this year’s Gathering. I hope you have a great time, and am so excited to interact with you all. Please let me know how I can help you have the best experience these next few days. P.S:
Kathy, I think I’ll invite myself to dinner at your house when you make the stir-fry:)
Hi everyone, this is Derek Nedveck from the Madison, Wi area. My parents are retiring / scaling down their current ornamental perennial nursery, and I’m looking to help transition the farm to it’s next state (not sure what that is yet). Currently in the idea collection and planning phase, and excited to start some plant trials and breeding projects in 2021.
Pacific Northwest (SW Washington) present and accounted for! Forest farming Kiwiberry,
Thornless BlackBerry, grape, Chestnut, Hazelnut, Specialty apples, pears, persimmons and timber bamboo alongside/beneath
Douglas Fir, Coast Redwood, Ponderosa (WV) Pine.
Interested in practical harvesting/marketing strategies and affordable liability insurance underwriters. Robert “Redwood” Stewart.
Hi, I’m Emily from Madison, WI. I am part of a non-profit org, Wisconsin Food Forests. We planted 3 food forests last year! I also have my own business specializing in fruit and native plants. In addition, I am a teacher at a nature-based Montessori school where I planted a food forest and an orchard. Plus, every fall I work at Door Creek Orchard. I am most interested in growing fruit. Fun fact: one of my favorite holidays is Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Hi, Tom Abbott, reside in S. Florida farm in West Central Illinois. Retired from USDA-ARS but actively exploring regenerative, sustainable methods for our 250 acres in Fulton County. Currently use cover crops, CRP, removing invasives, mushrooms and bees. Looking forward to the sessions and learning more.
Hi everyone! I’m Hannah from north central WI. My partner Justin and I started our own farm called Rue de Bungaloo Farm just this year. We are focusing on growing apples and small fruit including elderberries, as well as mushrooms, hogs, and garlic. I’m so excited to learn more about orchard management, mushrooms in agroforestry, and regenerative farm planning and design. Fun fact: We love to travel, meet people, and learn about their food culture. We have been lucky enough to WWOOF in Italy, France, and Maui
Heya! Kylie here from Santa Barbara, CA. I am the Farmland Program Director for Kiss the Ground. Our Farmland Program offers scholarships for soil health training, soil testing, and mentorship. I am also a yoga teacher and farmhand for White Buffalo Land Trust – a 12 acre avocado orchard nested in the foothills of Summerland, CA. We are a learning and demonstration site for regenerative agriculture, growing everything from coffee to jujubes to persimmons. I am excited about exotic foods and landscape design and can’t wait to hear about your projects!
Hello, Mark Guttrridge from Ollin Farms in Longmont, CO. I am a vegetable farmer turned tree planter, our farm has set up conservation plans with NRCS on the properties we manage to layer multiple soil-building practices. One of the practices I’m most excited about is alley-cropping with perennial tree/shrubs which we have been doing for three years now. The semi-arid high-plains is a tough place to implement these systems but we are having some luck and excited to dive deeper into the subject at this gathering
Hi, everyone! I’m Rand Burkert, originally from Wisconsin, then an organic farmer in Umbria, Italy, then a farming activist and teacher in Cape Cod where I am now. With Food Forest Initiative of Cape Cod, a non-hierarchical collaborative, I’m one of the “diggers,” creating small Restoration Agriculture demo projects on public lands and at schools — one of these under the power lines in a cooperative relationship with Harwich Water Department and Eversource utility company. I’ll give a presentation about it on Tuesday. I’ve also started a complex teaching mini-farm at Nauset Regional High School. I’m here to learn especially about economics of perennial crops and larger farms; as an early associate of Mark Shepard and New Forest Farm, I want to see and breathe the savanna! But living on Cape Cod, Wampanoag land which has been sliced into small parcels by tourism, we need to create economic farming work for the future by thinking in terms of public education, use of marginal lands, and (some day) associative harvesting collaboratives. I can’t wait to learn from you all! I have two sons, Francesco and Roberto, who are doctors serving Covid wards in Austria. I play Guild guitars, and am moving toward funk.
I’m Sean Spender, a carpenter and pawpaw enthusiast from Guelph, Ontario, Canada. In the coming year I plan to plant my first acre of trees! I’m really inspired by Restoration/Regenerative Agriculture movement and want to learn more about the design and implementation of successful systems. Looking forward to soaking up all the knowledge.
Hello I am John Williams, I am the owner/orchardist at Red Crib Acres a small apple orchard in Central Illinois. My partner, Kaitie Adams (a wonderful Savanna Institute staff member) and I, raise around 250 apple trees (including many heirloom varieties) and have aspirations to expand the operation in the coming seasons. I am also the Farm Manager at Sola Gratia Farm a non-profit vegetable farm in Central Illinois. I am constantly working towards more regenerative systems on both farms and look forward to this Gathering!
Hi folks, Alex Caskey from Barred Owl Brook Farm (@barredowlbrook), a 60-acre agroforestry based farm nestled along the Adirondack Coast of Lake Champlain in the NY Champlain Valley a stone’s throw from Burlington, VT. The farm is inside the Adirondack Park and surrounded by protected land – a 3,700 acre state forest preserve is the only thing between us and the longest stretch of undeveloped shoreline on the lake. My wife, Audrey, and I are very fortunate to steward a landscape home to an incredibly diverse group of plants, wildlife and fungi. We are wrapping up our 2nd full season here at the farm. Our enterprises include raising Katahdin sheep in a silvopasture based system, woodland mushroom cultivation, and starting up a tree crop nursery in the mold of Akiva Silver’s Twisted Tree Farm and Buzz Ferver’s Perfect Circle Farm. We also keep a few hogs and a small flock of ducks. When I’m not farming, I’m likely on a mtn bike trail or in the ceramics studio. Looking forward to learning more about perennial food systems with you all – I originally hail from northern Indiana and am excited to be in the virtual company of some fellow midwesterners! Cheers
Hi Alex! Very cool to see you participating here, we met briefly last winter when Justin and I visited our friend Luke (unfortunately, just after the barn fire). I’m excited to see a familiar face and learn more about your projects at Barred Owl Brook!
Hello everyone! I’m Louis Lefebvre from Quebec. Passionate about wild edibles and diverse agroforestry systems. Beside long hicking sessions for wild picking, I’m growing wild ginger (asarum canadense) under sap exploited maple forest in southern Quebec since 2012. Also, I belong to the Reseau Agriconseil network of consultant for the Province of Quebec, that brings subsidies for farmers and new farmers willing to build agroforestry systems on their lands and looking for advices from professionnals. I also constructed a cumputer program based on exhaustive scientific review, to choose the best perennial plants according to the soil, micro-climate and needed fonctionalities. I’m looking forward to meet other ¨farmer-managed natural regeneration¨ and mycoforestry enthousiasts.
Hello all, Greetings from Appalachia, Ohio where I live on 25 acres of forest on land in a region that was primarily hunting ground to the Shawnee and Osage Nations and where the larger region had previously been settled by the Hopewell Moundbuilders and the Adena. My partner and I started the Appalachian Staple Foods Collaborative 11 years ago as an informal network that led to the start of Shagbark Seed & Mill, an organic seed cleaning and milling operation. We have been in business for 10 years. Shagbark is named in honor of the Shagbark Hickory tree, which is ubiquitous east of the Mississippi, and like the rebuilding of regional staple food systems, it is a hard nut to crack! The progress made, especially in the last four years around the country, has made this the time to connect with others through our reinvigorated network building in the last year. Please get in touch with us! We want to build support the network of staple seed crop practitioners working with grain, bean, and nut crops in our region and across the continent.
HI Michelle! Great to see you here. I don’t know if you remember me, but we met several years ago when Sean Clark and I came up from Berea College to tour the mill. It was inspiring then, and I’m sure much more so now!
Hello everyone! I am Morgan Snedden, beginning farmer and owner of Fox at the Fork Farm, located just South of Chicago in Illinois. We are in the process of designing a diverse perennial system of fruits, nuts, and herbs and hope to gain more insight into the implementation of perennial systems as well as connect with other regenerative and perennial enthusiasts!
Hi Morgan – We are just over the border from Chicago. Would love to connect and learn about what you are doing at your farm.
Hello! Happy to connect. You can reach me at [email protected]
Hi all! Dayna from Nettle Valley Farm here. We raise pastured pigs and run an incubator farm program here on our land in southeast MN. Mostly doing silvopasture-by-subtraction now (converting overgrown woody slopes into oak savanna type silvopasture) but we hope to eventually purchase more land for a planted silvopasture specifically for our hogs. Happy to be here!
Hi all. I’m Ben Bishop. I am a graduate research assistant at the Center for Agroforestry studying for my master’s degree. My focus is on alley cropping and tree crop improvement. Let’s connect and share some knowledge and experience! You can find me on Instagram: The.Forest.Gardener and YouTube: The Forest Gardener.
Hi- Jon and Amanda Lightner from Maggie’s Farm Wi LLC. We raise dairy sheep on 100 acres of S. Wisconsin farmland that is preserved with the Glacial Drumlin Land Trust. We raise our own forage and feed, make cheese, and are interested in developing silvipasture and tree forages on several parts of our land that are in overgrown christmas tree plantations and other softwood monocultures that were planted in the 70s and 80s on poorly drained crop ground.
Hi All! Kaitie Adams, Community Agroforester with the Savanna Institute, joining you from Urbana, IL (Peoria, Kaskaskia, Piankashaw, Wea, Miami, Mascoutin, Odawa, Sauk, Mesquaki, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Chickasaw Ancestral Lands). I lead the Illinois Demonstration Farm program and help build community through agroforestry education across the state and beyond. I am drawn to agroforestry for its powerful reimagining of a future that is abundant, perennial, and beautiful. In addition to planting trees and talking about pawpaws, I teach community classes on seasonal cooking, fermentation, and canning and help run Red Crib Acres, a small apple orchard on rented land, with my partner John Williams.
Looking forward to connecting and learning from you all!
Hi everyone! Kristoffer from Denmark here. I’m a mechanical engineer by profession. I have worked with technology and sustainable farming in several contexts, from autonomous field robots and IoT to GIS and digital planning tools. My practical experience with perennial farming started with Permaculture and self-sufficiency. After having worked as a regenerative farm planner for some time I have now embarked on combining my two passions, technology and regenerative agroforestry, to develop digital tools for agroforestry planning through my company Regen Farmer.
Hi, very interesting. I just googled your website.
Hope you found it XD Let me know if you have any questions 🙂
Hello Everyone! Clare Hintz here from the South Shore of Lake Superior, Crane Clan Anishenabe land, where I run a production Permaculture farm featuring perennial fruits and veggies, plus summer and winter annuals, all overseen by my herd of American Guinea Hogs and my flock of laying hens plus a few turkeys. I am a full time commercial farmer with summer and winter CSAs. I’m also the editor in chief of the Journal of Sustainability Education and occasionally mentor Ph.D. students in ecological design and research.
Clare, I loved the information you shared on your Guinea Hogs during the nutshell. If we ever get pigs, I think they should be that breed. It sounds like you are doing great things out on the shore of Lake Superior. – Kathy
Hello! Jacque and Dan Enge here. We live in Sauk county Wisconsin on a 1000 acre dairy farm. We’re interested in transitioning to a more sustainable and regenerative way of agriculture. We are currently planting the seeds (literally and figuratively) for the transition with a roadside veggie stand where we sell sustainably grown produce. We hope to be able to use this as an avenue to sell a large variety of perennial crops as well. We started growing a food forest in 2015. We currently have several hundred fruit and nut trees including chestnuts, hazelnuts, plums, peaches, persimmons, etc. We hope the conference helps us start building a plan to scale up our regenerative practices and transition away from annual monocultures(corn and alfalfa)
Jacque and Dan great to meet you here! Your neighbor Curt told me about you and spoke highly of you. And our new farm is not far from you at all as I understand. Really looking forward to getting to know you, and being neighbors!
Mornin’ – John Steines from Silverwood Farm-Park, a Dane County, WIsconsin park dedicated to ag education. Silverwood County Park is managed by the Friends of Silverwood Park – 300 acres of land on Rice Lake, just north of Lake Koshkonong, under regenerative care and combining recreation with education and production. Restoring 20-25 aces of remnant Oak Savanna. Seeking local partners who can sponsor and manage small animal operations on site. Come visit. John Steines, President, Friends of Silverwood Park
Hi there! My name is Kelsi Stubblefield and I am a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry. I am pursuing my Master’s degree, and my research interests include agroforestry adoption and environmental outreach/education. As a fun fact, I recently created a food forest lesson plan for fifth grade students! Happy to be here at my first PFG!
Hi Kelsi, thanks for working with middle school students! One of my goals in Cape Cod
is a bioregionally appropriate series of lesson plans for middle school or high school students.
With Food Forest Initiative of Cape Cod and Orleans Farmers Market, we’ve set up a
complex teaching garden at Nauset High School which will increasingly introduce
Forest Garden concepts (within a market gardening space). I’d be interested in seeing
your fifth grade lesson plan if willing to share, and eventually share materials back. Writing
them, keyed to Core curriculum, is a winter project for me.
Hi everyone, I’m Rosina from the unceded Syilx territories in the Similkameen Valley, in the interior of British Columbia, in zone 6a, in a semi-arid climate. Happy to be at this conference this year and to connect with all of you. My partner and I have started a new permaculture farm planted with a diversity of fruits, nuts, and herbs. We’re working on redesigning our pastured chicken system to implement more trees and move more towards agroforestry with edible perennials and forages for them. We are only on 2.5 acres so we’re interested in learning from others who are implementing and designing integrated agroforestry systems on a small scale and really interested in growing more pawpaws and persimmon.
Hi Everyone! Joe Molosky here. My family and I just bought 10 acres in Northwest Indiana. We are looking to learn about perennial fruit and nut systems we could implement on our property and connect with similar folks in the area.
Hello! I’m Mitch, currently living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but soon to be relocating to southwest Wisconsin (La Crosse area) with my partner, Abbie, to start a farm/orchard. Looking to primarily grow apples, but also interested in incorporating other tree and shrub crops like pears, plums, chestnuts, hazelnuts and various berries. I’m also very interested in adding livestock like geese, chickens and sheep into the system. All plans at the moment, but excited to keep learning more to help us get started on the right foot.
Hi Mitch! We’re a couple hours south of La Crosse with an organic orchard. Would be glad to meet up as you move down to this region. -Chris
Amazing! I’d love to meet up once we’re down there. I’ll shoot you an email. -Mitch
Hey there Mitch and Abbie!! Good to hear from you again. Best of luck with your orchard plans, and if you ever come to northern WI look us up!
Hey Mitch and Abbie! Come visit us post-COVID! We (Nettle Valley Farm) are just 45 min southwest of La Crosse near Spring Grove, MN! Always excited to connect with interesting people doing interesting things in our neck of the woods. [email protected]
Hi I am Chris McGuire, from Two Onion Farm, Belmont WI. My wife Juli and I grow 2 acres of organic apples, also currants and gooseberries.
Hi folks! Matt Wilson here, currently in the Berea area of Kentucky. I’m a small farm production advisor with Grow Appalachia of Berea College where I work with farmers in eastern Kentucky. I studied agroforestry at the University of Illinois and have partnered with the Savanna Institute on a few projects in the past, including contributing to “Perennial Pathways: Planting Tree Crops”. I’m interested in all things agroforestry, especially organic management, agroforestry system design, and orchard establishment.
Hi. I’m Nancy Newbury from Northwest Pennsylvania. Almost every town in western PA has Hickory St, Walnut St, Hazel St, Chestnut St, etc. But I know of no other nut growers in the area. So, for the last ten years, on my 37 acre farm, I’ve planted every nut tree I think might grow, as well as uncommon fruits.
Hi perennialists! I’m so happy to be here! My name is Wendy and I steward Ocethi Sakowin, Sauk, Mesquaki, and Wahpeton land in Northern Iowa. The farm is called Joia Food Farm where we raise and graze sheep for wool and meat, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks and turkeys. We also grow organic grain crops, utilizing perennials and animals within our rotations as much as possible. In the last 3 years we have started restoring a riparian area by planting thousands of trees and bushes, the work is continuing. We have planted orchard trees in our pastures and have our sheep and chickens and ducks graze between rows. On a larger project, we are on a mission to help perennialize Iowa! I am very interested in alley cropping and diversifying more with nut and fruit crops.
Hi everyone! My name is Katlyn Pluer and I am currently a Restoration Ecologist for the Milwaukee County Park system. I am hoping to transition from practicing ecological restoration to getting some hands on farm experience in the very near future. Getting involved in agroforestry has been a dream for me since studying conservation at UW-Milwaukee and working as a garden and compost operator on campus. I’m so excited to be here and learn about all the different farmers doing this work and for ways that I can get involved.
Hi Katlyn, I’m from Milwaukee, and grew up in those Olmstead-designed parks, especially Lake Park! Biking, beech trees, and the lake! (Crinoid fossils found at Bradford Beach when age 8!) Milwaukee Public Museum dioramas… With city/school involvement, I wonder if volunteer groups could set up demo forest gardens in the parks? Perhaps you already have. My presentation today at 10:40 CST is about something similar in Cape Cod, in the Restoration Ag presentations.
Hi, y’all. I’m Jeff McFadden, an elderly, donkey powered smallholder on an unnamed smallholding in Ray County, MO, about 50 miles NE of Kansas City.
We are currently converting to agro-forestry. Over the past two years I have planted chestnuts, ~50 hazelnut seedlings, a few plums, hickory, some black walnut, a few pecan trees, some pawpaws, burr oak, and other odds and ends. We harvest a sizable amount of mulberries annually from volunteer trees and are in the process now of locating and encouraging additional mulberries as well as persimmons.
We have a small old apple orchard. I attempted elderberries last spring, so far without much success, but we are expecting 75 elderberry seedlings from Missouri Conservation come spring.
It is our objective to become fully farm energy self-sufficient with our donkeys and hay, but so far that is still a work in progress. Due to a lack of knowledge and equipment to adapt my work stock to small tractor equipment, I still have to do some of the work, particularly large scale mowing and some heavy lifting, with tractors.
I came to learn and to meet others. It’s kinda lonely out here.
Hi all! I am completing graduate work at Northwestern University in Chicago, researching breadfruit agroforestry soils. Specifically, I am looking at how the degree of cultivar domestication and community structure (orchard, food forest etc.) influences long-term soil C storage. I am analyzing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and soil aggregates to do this. I love fruit farming and forest medicinals, and am currently looking for openings to work on a forest farm this coming spring! Don’t hesitate to contact me about my research, or if you would like to get to know me further!
Hi. I’m great at filling in the riparian buffers and property lines, but I’m working up the courage to plant a row of heart nuts in the middle of a corn/wheat/soy field.
Olivia here! I am a nut growing/buying assistant researcher for Indiana University and full time land advocate, soon snowbirding to Ecuador for a three month farming stint. I have worked on educational garden development, organic agroforestry farming, and local food databasing (in Berlin). I’m here to learn about many themes, but most looking forward to nut talk and the decolonizing of agriculture. Feel free to connect with me at [email protected], and happy learning.
Hi All! I am Sven Pihl and I am in Urbana, IL (Peoria, Kaskaskia, Piankashaw, Wea, Miami, Mascoutin, Odawa, Sauk, Mesquaki, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Chickasaw Ancestral Lands). Thanks Kaitie!
I am Savanna Institute’s Agroforestry Technical Service Provider for the Kankakee and Iroquois River Watersheds where I connect farmers to USDA Agroforestry programs. As a Permaculture Designer, I am drawn to Agroforestry for its historical worldwide aboriginal roots as well as it’s current scientific research.
Always looking to meet human needs while building ecosystem health…
Hi Sven, I’m very interested in your focus on worldwide aboriginal roots of agroforestry — locally, interested in connections between Wampanoag traditions here on Cape and new practice of them, and how they could relate to projects that originate out of our so-far very white Restoration Agriculture/permaculture-bonded group! I’ve received a document written by a global group of Indigenous people comparing “Regen” and “Permaculture” with an Indigenous world view and essentially criticizing the obstacles to that come with linguistic/colonial premises that they find within these two movements. It is very complementary to Reginaldo’s presentations here.
Hi! This is Jess of Wonderfarm, just outside Madison, WI. I raise pastured pigs and poultry and am slowly working on additive and subtractive edible silvopasture projects. I’m always on the lookout for farmer friends and partners. I’ve made some unexpected but awesome connections at the Perennial Farm Gathering in previous years, so staying hopeful and open that that can happen virtually this year!
Hi Jess, I’m outside Madison on the Mount Horeb side (although I am in Milwaukee a lot, and am by no means a full time farmer). I’ve been delving into chestnuts and hazelnuts with a side of oak savanna, so let me know if you’d like to chat sometime.
Hi everyone! My name is Seth Chrisman (he/him), and I am a master’s student and graduate research assistant at the Center for Agroforestry at the University of Missouri. My research is focused on ecosystem function during establishment of woodland silvopasture, and woody perennial fodder banks for temperate climates. I’m thrilled to be a part of this gathering, and look forward to connecting with and learning from you all.
Hello All! My name is Kim Watt (she/her) and I run Thimble Hill Farm and Nursery in the Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. My small farm includes a perennials-focused plant nursery, a mixed-layer fruit and nut orchard, and integrated ducks and chickens on a fairly sloped 1.25 acres. I’m excited about all the sessions, and to learn from other attendees who are practicing small-scale agroforestry.
Hello! My name is Anna Plattner and I manage American Ginseng Pharm, a wild-simulated ginseng farm in the Catskill Mountains in NY. Over the last seven years, we have planted over 200 acres of American ginseng on a combination of owned and leased forested land. I’ll be presenting on some of our lessons learned on Wednesday with Karam Sheban, who did graduate research using our farm as a case study to help develop best practices for wild-simulated ginseng production. Outside of my role at the ginseng farm, my husband Justin Wexler and I also run an organization called Wild Hudson Valley, where we lead guided walks and workshops on historic Native land use and agroforestry. We manage our own United Plant Savers botanical Sanctuary where we steward and produce non-timber forest products like shiitake mushrooms and forest botanicals. We are excited to connect with other forest farmers and learn from each other over the next few days!
Michael Curcio (he/him) here! I am the executive director for PISCES Togo, a ten-acre permaculture teaching farm located in northern Togo, western Africa. We started at the beginning of this year and so far have planted over 5,000 nitrogen-fixing trees and harvested our first batch of crops. As our site has a five month rainy season, and a seven month dry season, desertification, deforestation, erosion, and soil impoverishment are all common problems. We hope that by applying permaculture and agroforestry techniques to the area, we can improve the soil, protect the environment, and promote food security. We will also offer trainings, internships, and camps to disseminate information about the importance of perennial agriculture. PISCES is hoping to connect with other permaculture teaching farms to create a collaborative network and, eventually, set up training exchanges. Feel free to check out http://www.togopisces.com to learn more and to contact us. Thank you!
This is a great event, but it’s the longest I’ve spent indoors in a non-rainy period in years and I’m desperate. I’m going to have sunshine, donkeys, and productive work for lunch. See y’all later.
Participated in the online-PFG. Great people, well organized and very informative. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you all. J.W.
Hey all, I greatly enjoyed the conference. Thanks for being pioneers in the field! We are a chef/farmer duo in eastern MA/southern coastal NH starting a 10 acre agroforestry farm and nursery with an emphasis on showcasing how to grow and eat perennials. Let me know if you find yourself in our corner of the world! [email protected]
