Factor e Farm
- Closed loop systems
- Open Source Permaculture
Objectives
- Full, year round diet for 12 people
- Non-food products (fiber, medicine, fuel) sufficient for 12 people
- Facilitate regenerative cycles that sustain themselves
- Create a replicable, self-funded enterprise to sustain participants through transition towards complete self-sufficiency.
Conceptual Ideals
- Closed loop systems
- Permaculture
- In alignment with OSE Specifications, Core Values, and
- Flexible enough to be replicable across multiple regional climate and geography
- Modular to promote scalability
- Works in parallel with current resources, population size, product demand
- Food swadeshi: growing food for your own self-sustenance, for your community or for a "grow food locally" business.
Seasonal Data Points:
- Summer, 2012 - FeF produces its own dairy, berries, grapes, 3 pears, a few pounds of apples, edible weeds (purslane, lambsquarter), chicory, mustard seed
- Fall 2012 - Dairy continues, grew lettuces, mustard greens, choy, turnips, arugula, radishes, spinach, swiss chard. Harvested and processed rose hips, black walnuts, dandelion greens, wild arugula.
