A good article on how climate change is causing problems for the insect world, and how honey bees might give us a window into natural insect declines.

These little guys! our first turtle sighting of 20 These little guys! our first turtle sighting of 2022! They're such a joy to see, and they're critical for native habitat preservation as well, spreading mycology and microbiology around the farm, both above and below ground. To help protect them, we no longer use steel bladed power mowers between March and December here at the PCEF. The Eastern box turtle is a threatened species, in fact, 60% of modern turtles are either extinct or threatened. If you can't see clearly where you're driving or mowing, consider getting the weed eater os scythe out first to clear a path and protect the turtles that might be unable to get out of your way.

Today, I presented my final project for graduation Today, I presented my final project for graduation from the CREATE course led by @masters.nicole and the exceptionally talented team of educators at @integrity_soils. 
(favorite slide pictured).

I've learned more in the last 5 months in CREATE than the 3 years I spent in graduate school.

The most transformational experience of my life to date, I'm forever grateful for their guidance, challenge, understanding and support.

It has given me the perspective and drive to take our already ecologically based farm to the next level, and the drive to share this knowledge with the world. 

A natural farming paradigm shift is happening around the world.
