What makes this incredible is a sustainable natural farm can produce everything from animal feed, to fuel, bird seed to a variety of specialty herbs and vegetables, fruits to turf. There is nothing this side of the Garden of Eden that can match the potential for diversity and self-sufficiently, while still producing income beyond consumption.
Add to this free range livestock and poultry, and the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
