Short but sweet, writings and images on my discoveries in farming, my personal experiences in tree crops in what I call real world scenarios and how to expand the horizons of ecological thinking as it relates to healthy food and a healthy world. Click below to sign up.
Biological enrichment blog was started in 2010. My daughter helped me formulate many of my early revisions. By 2014 only a few articles were published using this blog. From there I used the website for the blog instead. At the time of running my nursery, it was not possible to add content to it in a timely fashion, so I started the newsletter too of which I had help with for several years all done in house. This took the place of it in many ways but the newsletter format was limited and it was time consuming. As technology improved, so did my ability to produce content and images of real life tree crops and other perennial crops directly from my farm plantings. The I-Phone replaced my flip phone and soon I had a media library of plant images. The trees inspire me to write and the crops I produce tell me a story. These writings contain the newest explorations into agroforestry, two story agriculture as well as organic production of new types of fruits, nuts, perennial vegetables.
Each article in this blog will highlight my plantings as a means for others to replicate in some way or just enjoy as I tell stories about my experiences in farming and growing trees. Even if you not engaged in tree crops or farming in any way, my writings are meant for enjoyment. I want to shed light on subjects few people know much about. Further research on perennial crop plants as well as annual food plants will also be covered in specific details. Further critique of ecological thinking and philosophy will be avoided while at the same time these topics will be covered as a means to understand how we interact with the environment today and how to avoid the life damaging practices so prevalent in farming, forestry and conservation.

One seed is enough. This hybrid European chestnut was collected from tree crop revolutionary Grant Mudge who had a small and ailing tree in his northern forest home. I grew only one tree of it! That was all I had.
