I am developing a web-based app that will be a one-stop design shop for your edible yard. You will be able to use this app to plan systems that work best for you, whether it's a food forest, chicken tractor, aquaponics system, bees, raised square-foot garden beds, or all of the above.

  • Design your yard and see it before you grow it.
  • Get perfectly-timed prompts when to plant, prune, and harvest.
  • Receive hard-won advice specific to your region.
  • Know exactly how much you can grow in your yard, and know if that will be enough for your family.
  • When you have the design down, tap a button to make it happen.
  • Or, do the work yourself in stages, with a community of gardeners to help you stay on track, to share advice, to find a community within your own local area for sharing.


  • Does that sound interesting to you? I would love to hear your thoughts, or we can have an online call to discuss further.

    So I recently closed the alpha group and opened the beta for the Edible Estate app. Here's a quick video about the vision of AutoMicroFarm, what features are currently available in alpha, and what the dev team is working on next.

    Well, the narration turned out to be a bit longer than three minutes:

     
    I child proofed my house but they still get in. Distract them with this tiny ad:
    the permaculture bootcamp in winter (plus half-assed holidays)
