Hey Guys, I know Stefan Sobkowiak was featured in this forum before but I'm made the effort to compile the info from his book, film and Q&A document into the post explaining his permaculture orchard model.

Stefan is a pioneer of permaculture orchards, and now he shares his knowledge so we don’t need to go through 20 years of trial and error like him.

His Miracle Farms is the largest and the most developed example of a commercial permaculture orchard in Eastern North America.

Stefan is a great teacher, if you get a chance to visit his orchard during a tour I would highly recommend it. The experience was akin to talking to Mr. Salatin, with his knowledge and desire to teach people on his system. We plan on setting up something very similar on our farm hopefully in the spring if I can get the earth works completed. However we plan on mixing the miracle orchard with Mark Shepards view and adding more nut trees into the mix.

Great article William.
This is a very inspiring story that can set us on the fast track to our own permaculture orchard.
Thanks for the in-depth review. Cant wait to get the DVD!

Hi, I would like to know more info about the seed planting tool used in the film - tried a google search and looking through the miracle farm website but no info on it - it seems amazing - I would like to make one or buy one soon! Anyone know something more about it please? Thanks for your time, cheers from Australia,
