Want an edible garden? This permaculture designer helps homeowners grow their own

‘What you can grow in your own yard when you know the story of your soil far and away exceeds anything nutritionally you could ever purchase from the store, even if it’s organic.’

Excerpt:
Established in 2022, the food forest sits within Craig’s 1-acre farm on the outskirts of Xenia, where she lives with her children. The goal of the space, she said, is to generate an estimated 80% of the resources needed to sustain their existence. The other 20% are things that aren’t generated here, like dairy products, which she buys from local farmers markets or bulk stores.
She even makes some personal-care products at home. Toilet paper is still on her shopping list, though she grows alternatives, including mullein and lamb’s ear, in her yard. She also keeps 30 chickens, one of which has recently gone rogue.
“This is our grocery store,” Craig said. “The bulk of our food year-round gets produced within this space. And then I work to preserve it or freeze it for the rest of the year.”
