Permaculture Explorations

StellaLou Farm is host to a series of land interventions and collaborations which are designed with a permaculture foundation, an artistic leaning, and experimental tendencies. Explore these projects with us digitally and on-site! 

Chicken Food Forest

Four puddles of plantings, which provide food and cover for the StellaLou Farm flock, surround the chicken coop.

Windbreak

The windbreak is a transition space where there is a mix of both unhealthy, dying trees suffocated by invasives and new plantings of native trees and understory species.

Orchard

The permaculture inspired fruit orchard demonstrates a slow transition from grass and invasive weeds to edible landscape.

Honey Hedge

The honey hedge creates delineation between spaces, and feeds the StellaLou honeybees and attracts more species of pollinators.
