Urban Homesteading Resources

THE BOOK THAT STARTED IT ALL

When backyard enthusiasts plant fruit trees, they often get more than they bargained for, namely, out-sized trees and impossible quantities of fruit. It doesn’t have to be this way. Backyard growers have different purposes than farmers. Different rules apply. Well-timed pruning keeps fruit trees small and easy to manage. Pruning is one of the most necessary, neglected, forgiving, misunderstood, and rewarding aspects of fruit tree care. In a very real way, the hand of the pruner creates a fruit tree. Managing fruit trees is far less complicated than we have been led to believe.

We have a simple but audacious mission: Teach the world to grow. Dive in to our in-depth grow guides, inspiration, tips, and tricks.

Whether you’ve got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you’ve always wanted to do, let’s learn to think outside the box and come up with new solutions together. I became “Anne of All Trades” out of necessity. 10 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break, and build the things I needed. Today, I travel the country teaching furniture building, permaculture farming, and sustainability techniques I’ve learned by trying, failing, and repeating. A lot can change in a decade, and your new chapter starts now.

Permaculture, regenerating and healing your land. Self sufficiency and preparedness. Gardening, homesteading, earthworks, biochar, propagation, building soil and cultivating diversity. Food security with a focus on inviting nature in, and sharing the abundance with a focus on smart systems design. Come join my family and I on our move to the Canadian (zone 5) countryside.

Have you ever wanted to transform your organic gardening practice into something more? Are you interested in ecology, permaculture, or sustainability? This podcast takes a deep dive into these topics, through in-depth commentary and relevant interviews with forest gardeners, permaculturalists, and regenerative system designers.

The Forest Garden Podcast is a joint venture between Ben Bishop and Mike Amato, two plant nerds who in the summer of 2020 realized they shared the same alma mater and the same interests in alternative solutions to our rapidly evolving climate.
