Welcome to the Sow Edible Farm Podcast.  Join our family as we build our permaculture sustainable farm and off grid homestead.   With nature as our example, we are shaping the farm with edible food forests, perennials, hugelkulture beds, swales, and keyline water systems.  We share our experience in beekeeping and animal husbandry where we pasture raise ducks, chickens, and pigs through the use of rotational grazing and all natural care.  As first time farmers, we are learning how to work the land without pesticides, using heirloom plants, and beyond organic gardening techniques.  We hope that you will join our family as we embark on this adventure together.
