Laurie & Dan are growing 80% of their own food on an impressively abundant 3-acre off-grid homestead in the South of England.
They grow vegetables and flowers in permaculture gardens, they grow tree fruit, berries and herbs in a food forest, and they grow winter crops in three polytunnels. They also cultivate mushrooms by inoculating logs and forage for chestnuts in the woodland on their property.
They use a variety of growing methods including no dig beds, back to eden wood chip mulching, no chemicals or sprays, they plant heirloom seeds, and they make their own compost. Their land is off-grid so they collect rainwater, and they also pump well-water using electricity from solar panels.
