Taking the Long View

Natural Ecosystems at Work

The Back 18 Farm has been designed with permacultural principles in mind.  Permacultural design aims to replicate in man-made farms and gardens the patterns found in natural ecosystems to protect their stability and diversity.  This philosophy of farming runs counter to the popular thinking in large-scale commercial farming where eco-diversity is ignored in favor of economies of scale. In the long run, our eco-friendly approach to design will yield a more sustainable natural habitat.
