This multi-acre homestead is filled with potential! This design project focused primarily on the immediate area outside of the home to not only assist in creating a welcoming atmosphere, but also increase food production and benefit local pollinator health. We lightly touched on potential for surrounding spaces which included greenhouse possibilities and food forest development. Clients are installing this project themselves.
