about me
I am a new age farmer looking to change the way people utilize the Earth's resources and grow their own food. Micro Urban Farming is a method that I am constantly developing. It's about growing your own food in heavily populated areas- 2, 000 people or more. Sustainable Landscape is a tool for the permanent culture. Sustainability is about investing our resources appropriately and giving back to the Earth. I have lived on the west coast all my life. I have worked on many different farms up and down the coast mountains. My most recent passion has been greenhouses. Greenhouses are such a key in the sustainable picture. The sun is what will get us through this energy struggle. A greenhouse not only provides fresh greens and herbs year round, but it also provides much needed oxygen in this polluted world. I want to build a new economy based on goods and services. I want to spend my days with my kids in the garden and riding our bikes in the mountains.

The greenhouse is a most important key to our personal sustainability. It give us a place to ground with the earth when she is in her cycle. I built 11 gardens this summer and two greenhouse, and it is amazing the difference in the greenhouse plants to out side plants. Tell your friends and family to build one now start today. Our food is our freedom. If anyone needs help contact me i can help.
