Interested in what we are growing this year? 
Lunar Hollow Farm is a few acres of beautiful land outside of Deerfield, Wisconsin.  At Lunar Hollow Farm we use organic and permaculture principles. As a white person using the principles of permaculture, I acknowledge that permaculture comes from practices created by indigenous cultures and peoples around the world for thousands of years.  I acknowledge I am privileged to own land, and that I am using processes created by indigenous people. To me, the principles of permaculture go beyond food forests and soil building and are priniciples that can be used to create a more equitable, restorative, and cooperative community.

LUNAR HOLLOW PLANS
Our plans for 2021:
  • Add another 60-80 plant types to our medicinal and natives gardens
  • Increase our permaculture reclamation in our energy optimization and organization
  • Integrate fermented plant biological supports and controls In our systems
  • Add another 1-2 dozen fruit types
  • Expand our trialing areas so that we can trial grains as we work to become more self-sufficient (upland dry rice, quinoa, millet, amaranth, barley, oats).
  • Work with farm experiment groups to trial plants that were indigenous to this area in the past
  • Grow more seeds to share with our seed grants
  • Increase our food and food to share with our local food pantry
  • Design and implement water systems to help during dry times and to get rainwater catchment into the back acre
  • Build an outdoor kitchen that includes open fire cooking and wood fired oven
  • Build a garden washing system where we redirect used plant water back into the gardens
  • Expand our native nursery greenhouse to include more future trees and natives
  • Plant winecaps to be a part of our woodland medicinal area
  • Build a space where people can stay when they come to visit - either an RV, 2-3 season tent on a platform , or a tiny house. 
  • Start planning and budgeting to transition our home to solar within 10 years. 
  • Create solar systems for the greenhouse and add a drying shed for herbs behind the greenhouse that utilizes the hot greenhouse air.
