Photo: Hundred Fruit Farm

Hundred Fruit Farm is a 10-acre diversified permaculture farm that focuses on regenerative farming methods. Farmers Adam Dusen and Sunghee Kim believe it’s not enough to use organic methods in their production system—the whole farm, rather, should act as a holistic system that improves the soil, benefits the surrounding ecosystem, and strengthens the local community.

During this free CRAFT event, Adam and Sunghee will share how they relied on permaculture principles to transition their land from an open field into an integrated system producing a wide variety of fruits, berries, eggs, vegetables, mushrooms, and pastured meats. They’ll speak on a variety of topics including how they chose which plant varieties to grow; their cultural crop management methods; how they use pastured livestock to increase soil fertility and control vegetation; and what their future plans are for the farm.

Started in 2015, Hundred Fruit Farm is still a young operation. This event should help aspiring and beginning farmers imagine the possibilities available to them when starting from scratch.
