In this tour video, I'll show you how we're designing our Silvopasture orchard, which is only about 2 years old at time of filming.
You'll see why we're fans of trees in pasture and agroforestry in general, as well as the permaculture design principles we used to make sure our trees survive and thrive in our wet clay soil.
Regenerative agriculture with rotationally grazing sheep and carbon sequestration through trees is one of our main goals here at the farm.

Lovely fruit trees! Planting fruit and nut trees should be the number one task for new homesteaders and you've done a great job!

Aww thank you!! I've got a few more nut trees ordered because 2 of the ones we planted in our first year didn't make it. I feel like I've learned a lot about this land and keeping our trees alive since then :)

Hello. I have found sea berry to be extremely easy to start from seed. It will take longer to get flowers, but it's definitely cheaper than getting bareroot plants.

Thanks so much for sharing that! I've got a few plants that are finally taking off, so I'm happy about that. But I will definitely keep the seed idea in mind for future plantings!

❤ The honey locust take a while to get going, but when the seed pods finally start they make a great fodder. The black locust are toxic, sadly. I may have missed the Juliet cherry, for the Romio, but I think you need one of each to get fruit. Get video. ❤

Yay thanks for letting me know about the honey locust, it's a matter of patience isn't it?! And yes, I know the black locust will be used for wood most likely, and right now they just make me happy because they grow so well! You're totally right - we got a Romeo but no Juliet, so I need to get on that! :) Thanks for watching and commenting Sarah!
