FaktaVitenskapSamfunnFor unge lyttereFritidHelseHi Folks, I’m Takota Coen, thank you for checking out the Building Your Homestead Podcast where I talk with expert guests about agriculture, health, economics, technology, philosophy, and other topics that I believe will help to peacefully exit the increasing tyranny of our world and start building a parallel system, one homestead at a time.I started this podcast because I believe that the best way to fight the nefarious agents destroying our world is not with pandemonium, petitions, or pouting, but by ending our dependency on their systems that seek to keep us sick, broke and enslaved. Whether you are still planning your exit strategy from the city, or you already have an established property, I hope these conversations will inspire you and give you the tools to live a life of freedom and abundance in partnership with nature.

- #19-Stefan Sobkowiak: Our biggest mistakes in Permaculture (01:12:59)
Stefan Sobkowiak operates a 12 acre farm of which 6-acres are in a permaculture orchard at Miracle Farms in Quebec. Sobkowiak originally bought the farm as a conventional 12 acre 4,000 tree monoculture apple orchard and immediately transitioned it to organic, but he quickly realized that an organic monoculture merely substitutes inputs from the conventional model. The alternative he created is a diverse polyculture that produces a wide variety of different fruits, berries and perennial herbs for u-pick membership customers. Sobkowiak is also an avid teacher, having taught at the university level and now popularly, through his Permaculture Orchard video, his online virtual orchard tour and his online pruning course.Find out more about Stefan at www.miracle.farm▶️ My farm https://www.coenfarm.ca ▶️ My consulting and book https://www.buildingyourgulch.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/building-your-permaculture-property/donations
