Studied the relationship of Organic Material and the ever changing environment for over 25 years, as a seed collector of Heritage and Organic seeds I am able to produce flowers and vegetables that would have been eaten 50 years ago. Avoiding GMO and Soil Technologies that go against Organic living I am able to soil test to make sure that the soil remains rich from all non-organic materials and using only natural fertilizers and safe pesticides (only if necessary) again using organic material that I am able to grown quality sustainable food. I am studying fruit growing and working with leaders around the world in Organic Fruit processes currently to add a new crop to my ever growing gardens. This year I am venturing on Bee Keeping as the past 2 years I have been studying the different Bee Swam that would compliment the growth of my garden. I am also working with the local High School FFA students who frequent my Garden and do their soil test sampling projects along with a few other local Organic growers.
