Featuring over 100 fruit and nut crops, hundreds of diverse medicinal and soil building plant communities and a robust vegetable garden, this homestead provides a significant amount of food, joy, and beauty for the Ohlsen family.  Hundreds of thousands of gallons of stormwater are being caught and directed to replenish aquifers, maintain a swimming pond, and drought proof the property. Complete with graywater reuse, rainwater storage, vermiculture systems, and an elaborate water-harvesting system using large logs and stumps as retaining walls, this homestead garden has evolved into a sought-after learning environment in the permaculture community.
