Forest In A Farm

Twenty years ago, we started to plant forest trees in a zone within the farm.  Today, some of the trees are 100 feet tall, and of course, still growing.  We plan now to develop this zone into an area of bio-diversity and hopefully, some of the animal life driven off by logging uphill, will instead make this zone their home.  The forest uphill was home to siamang, wild cats, and many more.

Sustainable agriculture is long term, planning decades ahead, not months or weeks.

At one end of the zone is this beautiful location, perhaps a suitable site for a Sustainable Agricullture Institute.
