"Eating is an agricultural act."
- Wendell Berry
Our Philosophy
Edible Ecology is a landscape design and contracting company that holds to ecologically and socially regenerative principles. Our philosophy draws chiefly from Permaculture design, an ecological approach to designing sustainable and dynamically permanent human habitats, integrating wildlife habitat and agriculture, rooted in observing natural principles. We aim to embody a whole-systems design process that is anchored in the social, climatic, geographical, and economic realities of a given context.
Our mission at edible ecology is the creation of more resilience in our communities by way of increased food and water security, empowerment through knowledge, and right stewardship of our environmental and social contexts. We offer a full suite of coaching, design, installation, maintenance and harvest.
