One farm's decades-long journey into regenerative agriculture-and
how these methods enhance biodiversity, pollinators, and soil
health Northern Vermont's Nancy and John Hayden have spent the last
25 years transforming their draft horse-powered, organic vegetable
and livestock operation into an agroecological, regenerative,
biodiverse, organic fruit farm, fruit nursery, and pollinator
sanctuary. In Farming on the Wild Side they explain the
philosophical and scientific principles that influenced them as
they phased out sheep and potatoes and embraced apples, pears,
stone fruits, and a wide variety of uncommon berry crops; turned
much of their property into a semi-wild state; and adapted their
marketing and sales strategies to the new century. As the Haydens
pursued their goals of enhancing biodiversity and regenerating
their land, they incorporated agroforestry and permaculture
principles into perennial fruit polycultures, a pollinator
sanctuary, repurposed greenhouses for growing fruit, hugelkultur,
and ecological "pest" management. Beyond the practical techniques
and tips, this book also inspires readers to develop greater
ecological literacy and respect for the mysteries of the global
ecosystem. Farming on the Wild Side tells a story about new ways to
manage small farms and homesteads, about nurturing land, about
ecology, about economics, and about things that we can all do to
heal both the land and ourselves.
