I believe everything is connected.
On our little homestead that our son named “Red Wheel,” we host goats, chickens, and bees, and provide a ridiculous amount of habitat (sorry neighbors) to a number of creatures. Our animals are rotationally grazed, the weeds aren’t considered weeds, and we do what we can to support our local ecology and watershed.
In 2021, I completed a 9-month certification course in the Foundations of Herbalism at Vital Ways Institute in Portland, OR and a 10-week online course in Permaculture Design through Quail Springs Permaculture.
