Winecap (stropharia) mushrooms on compost windrows: Heavy deer browsing!
A huge flush of winecaps on our windrows--the largest ever--eventually attracted deer (after we harvested copious amounts) who nibbled on the emerging mushrooms. A lesson to harvest early! More will come. 'You learn and you adapt'...especially when sharing habitat with many family members...Just trying to 'keep it honest' here on the farm!

This is an example of how, timed correctly, sanctuary animal bedding can be inoculated with edible/medicinal mushrooms for the benefit of so many...breaking down the cellulosic material in the piles, generating edible food, and creating an invaluable ecosystem in the process.
Bumble Bees in Siberian Peashrub
Просмотров 495 месяцев назад
Siberian peashrub (caragana arborescens) attracts massive numbers of pollinators, especially ground-dwelling bumble bees who thrive here at SHO (partially due to the fact that we don't mow except for pathways). Pollinator habitat not only benefits the other plants on our farm, it assures a good Siberian pea harvest, as we use this perennial legume in place of soybeans for making misos and amino...
Planting Wild Rice (Manoomin) in New Beaver Pond, Vermont (longer version)

This video shows our experimental efforts to introduce wild rice to our Vermont mountain ponds, two of which are now home to beavers. Wapato (a wetland plant with edible tubers) will follow in the springtime in newly-established shallow waters. We are learning co-habitation and creative partnership, hoping to enable native, durable, regional food gathering for the benefit of many. For more abou...

Working with natural succession: transitioning from grass to perennial trees.
Просмотров 1022 года назад
This shows how 'not mowing' within a once-pastured Vermont hill farm has yielded a flush of ostrich ferns (fiddleheads a wonderful spring vegetable), and also created ideal conditions for planting long-term mast trees like oak, chestnut, nut pine, hickory and even fruit trees like pear, apple, and mulberry. When, with time, ferns overtake a once-grassy field, this removes the difficulty of esta...

With its high abundance this time of year alongside its ease of harvest, why not find ways to feed ourselves with this delicious leguminous flower? Find out how easy it is. Here's my favorite savory recipe for soup from chef Lee Duberman made with only water, salt, onions, garlic, tarragon and peas. Simply substitute an equal amount of flowers for green peas. dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/200...
The Evolution of Sanctuary Compost at SHO: Ecology of Mutualism
Просмотров 502 года назад
Vegan farms and sanctuaries are most always challenged with how to manage the copious bedding from our non-human animal living spaces. Here at SHO, we are a farm, duck sanctuary, and wildlife refuge, and are learning how to treat our bedding as an ecosystem in itself, as it slowly returns to the land. We're exploring mutualisms, passive harvests, and active cultivation to benefit both the anima...

I swear I heard one of them say "yeah, nah, fuck this!"
Beautiful is right. Your ducks sure would love to eat those slugs for you!
beautiful
The rice was properly stratified.
I’m planting wild rice, wild millet, smartweed, dwarf corn and Japanese millet for wildlife. I started them in a greenhouse and all are have sprouted and growing except the rice. I have tried planting the rice several different ways including indoor trays, greenhouse trays, broadcast over water and broadcast over wet ground but nothing has sprouted yet after two weeks. Ground temp is 50. Still hoping.
I’ve been doing a similar thing in the NEK. Last years flood delayed things but I’m back at it.
Very cool. How have things worked for you so far? What specifically are you planting? Good luck with this year.
Nice! Hello from Russia!🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed
Ducks are cool
Parece que les a dado frio
Feel you, guys😂😂😂😂
I love ducks
Great video, always love to see your plantings! I have enjoyed observing all that the birds plant whenever tree canopy or perches are above; in those parts of my garden there is an abundant forest regenerating (serviceberries, autumn olive, wild cherries, wild apples, invasive pears, brambles, grapes, red cedars, along with my least-favorite of Poison Ivy, as well as some wind-blown seeds). In areas of grassland the process of succession has been much, much slower. What you're calling Serviceberries here look like a wild cherry species to me, possibly P. serotina, though there are many species of serviceberries out there, and it could be one I haven't seen before. I have been learning more about the wild grapes around here; fox grapes have fuzzy undersides to the leaves and large, sweet fruit (Concords were bred from those), but we also have Riverbank grapes (large, thin, edible heart-shaped to squarish leaves, small, tart fruits) and "Summer" grapes (often very incised leaves, as found on some figs), Vitis aestivalis. I was wondering why some vines flowered but never fruited, and found out that grapes are another dioecious species, like Persimmons or Mulberries. Always learning!
Thank you PJ! It's possible that a few of the younger shrubs that I took to be serviceberry (I did see one of them fruit last year) could be prunus, pin cherry (. Those will come out, if so. We have good pin cherry shrubs along our driveway that make really nice fruit clusters.
Congrats! I am nicely curious as to how they all turned out! 🌿🌬️
Thank you. They turned out great! There were some seeds due to ONE male that escaped my attention. So I will have some great seed for next season as well as well as medicine.
Poor things.i don't understand how anyone can mistreat an animal it breaks my heart.thank you for stopping and giving them fresh water.do u live nearby and seen them out there all day and that's why u stopped?
Oh...helll....naw...
saw this with another sound overlay yip yip yip uh-huh u-huh....... nope nope no
Duck 1: Shouldn’t we be like... Migrating out of here? Part of me told me we are supposed to do that. Duck 2: Look at your short arse wings, Nancy... Now shut up and get inside, it’s freezing out here.

Keep uploading!!! Good luck with growing your channel! Did you ever check SMZeus . c o m?! It could help you get your videos higher in the search results!!
Saw your video in a Brazilian channel, we live in Charlottesville VA the only people we know in Vermont is the member of the band Gang of Thieves. This video should go viral. Sending Love for now.
Here before this blows up even more
Beautiful plants, Melissa-nice to see how they're growing there for you. Thanks for sharing!
I will be sending a donation (having just today discovered SHO) this clip from March is simply wonderful, pure joy! (I read the story of the flock's rescue and re-homing at SHO, so I know how well they live, those quackers ❤️❤️ --Mary G., Barnstable,MA
How kind of you, Mary! Thank you!
NOPE! We love you guys. All the best from Croatia, EU.
accessibility... it is all good and nice to tout renewable resources but there is no talk about how expensive it is build the infrastructure that is depicted in this video.
Totally awesome
Would like to get some of those sea berry bushes. Do you have any root stock available?
+ecolocalguy we do not sell plants as yet. But try raintree nursery or one green world. If you're in vermont, try vermont edible landscapes, and there are a few other local growers--keith morris, buzz fervor...
This might be the best example of modern rural gentrification around Vermont right now. The thinking is great... in fact its nothing new, this is how farmers thought and organized themselves one hundred plus years ago, taking micro climate and planting and building sites all into account. The only difference is now it costs a lot more to do it, is not really a community effort and benefits much fewer people. It's a re-branding of very old ideas by privileged white land-owners. I ask how these systems can be afforded to an average income Vermonter. As someone who has seen the land be transformed negatively over the last 40 years in VT I have to say I am skeptical that this place will provide anything but warm pats on the back of rich new york/connecticut/new jersey/massachusetts urbanites. 80k in earthworks! I am instantly priced out!
bjorn, our place has flaws to be sure, but we need people of all financial backgrounds to invest in these kinds of systems in order to achieve a large impact. the goal is to attract sophisticated investors to a credible design and execution, in order to build confidence in the values of both permaculture and ecosystem stewardship. Each element can be educational to any financial means, and all monies spent on this project went into supporting local craftspeople and those attempting to earn an ethical living. It is key that elements here becomes 'the norm' insofar as the way buildings and resources are scrupulously used. I would invite you to track what we're doing to stimulate new markets for permaculture-grown products, to revise State laws in order to recognize regenerative agroforestry land management in both current use and conservation, and to inspire investors to partner with permaculture entrepreneurs in shaping a new economy that builds health and life. You can check us out on facebook at "Teal-Sho Farm Vermont", or on earthasset.com.
Teal Farm Noone needs the permission of the wealthy to live better and provide sustainable systems and resilient designs.
Permaculture has something for everyone. This site is in the upper echelon of projects, but why hate on that? The mentality that bjorn is coming from will exclude those that can really make big changes with their resources. I really do hope that more and more people from the wealthy urbanite background will develop passions for food forests and regenerative farming..we will be a good place when that shifts. We are all in this together, and for $200 one can plant a nice backyard full of edible tree species. The synergy is where paradise creation is found, and permaculture dissolves class lines. Paradise creation for all...and by all.
bjorn deluz Of course no one needs permission of the wealthy to live better. . But the weatlhy need to have confidence in solid permaculture practices in order to place resources in well though-out, and productive systems that will hold their value over time. Building bridges is the way to go. I am always surprised when folks criticize the farm here because it involved money, beautiful craftsmanship, and large scale. That attitude needs to be broken down in order to attract everyone into the practice. You don't need money to project an attitude of generosity, affirmation, and sense of non-separation. As Anthony so aptly said, 'we're all in this together'.
bjorn deluz While I agree that an 80K design is probably beyond what most of us are capable of spending, most people making middle class wages can afford a similar kind of project. I am personally employing a "Mr. Money Mushtashe" approach of living on about 15K a year, and "investing" the rest into my permaculture homestead.
I was also wondering when the sea berry and buffalo berry bloom do the blossoms ever get killed by frost
+Jeremy Martin We've never noticed frost kill. The seaberries bloom rather late.
80k, Just for the design?
Jeremy Martin Yes. Re blossoms: we have not observed any seaberries get frost-killed, simple because the harvests are so plentiful. We also have lots of buffalo berries, but don't pay attention to that plant so much given that we're not using the fruit for human consumption--just nitrogen fixation and bird food.
Hey thanks
Teal Farm I think buffalo berries are one of the tastiest foods out there. Give them a chance! Juiced with a little maple syrup is wonderful. I believe they are high in iron.
A tough question to answer since the permaculture installation was part of a larger project involving a lot of earthworks. Ben Falk's/Whole Systems Design master plan for the project alone cost $80k, which involved a much larger installation plan over a larger acreage.
How much $ invested in an installation like this?
Awesome work guys!
Excellent presentation! Great system, clearly expressed.
wonderful, you guys are doing the work- let's hope you are the wave of the future!
