Turn your orchard into a resilient ecosystem with these steps! From Stefan Sobkowiak of Miracle Farms: 143
b'We\\u2019ve covered so many different ways to approach reforestation, both with native species and mixes of natives and orchard trees. In today\\u2019s session I wanted to focus on fruit orchards and I got to speak with the wizard behind Miracle Farms and the film, \\u201cThe Permaculture Orchard\\u201d Stefan Sobkowiak. I\\u2019ve been a fan of Stefan\\u2019s work for a while and have spent a lot of time on his excellent youtube channel where he offers tons of tutorials and solutions to practical aspects of managing a whole ecosystem around his orchard enterprise.\\nIn this interview we break it all down from the beginning, from how Stefan began to look for land in the challenging climate of Canada all through his great advice for how to get started from selecting species, building soil, propagating trees and growing from there. We also go into how Stefan leverages nature\\u2019s tools to create a healthy and balanced ecosystem that not only brings more resilience to the operation but helps to reduce labor and external inputs. Towards the end we also unpack some invaluable advice on how to make meaningful money through innovative marketing strategies so can make a respectable living on a modest amount of land.\\nWe cover a really wide range of topics and Stefan really knows his stuff so don\\u2019t forget to check out the links in the show notes for this episode and maybe even keep a notebook around for good measure.\\nResources:\\nMiracle Farms website\\nBuy the film \\u201cThe Permaculture Orchard\\u201d\\nMembership marketing explained\\n\\nPodcast RSS'
