Transforming a conventional orchard into a fruit forest

Transforming a conventional orchard into a fruit forest 

 What’s often asked, however, is whether permaculture can really replace mainstream farming.

Stefan Sobkowiak believes it can. And he’s been working for the last 20 years to convert a 12 acre conventional commercial orchard into Miracle Farms, a largely self-sustaining permaculture food forest that uses little to no external fertilizer, and encourages a broad diversity of plants, insects and soil life to maintain its health and produce its bounty. Now a new documentary project seeks to spread the word about his work. And, through Kickstarter, they are looking for your support to do it.
