food systems design

Collaborative food- and farm-project planning, design and implementation. I love to share skills that empower communities and individuals to engage in their own food sovereignty.

Research, consulting, and feasibility reports for agriculture-related projects.

Specializing in organic vegetable production on small-scale farms or gardens, and permaculture design.

Constant companion, and colleague, Koa the dog
