Permaculture, Homesteading, Cold Climate & Compost-Powered Heating In The Vermont Hills...

Ben Falk is a permaculture designer based in Moretown, Vermont. In this video, he speaks about different aspects of homesteading and cold weather, notably his wood cook-stove which also heats water, and his compost-powered greenhouse heating system.

…you can also check out Ben’s book, “The Resilient Farm & Homestead” here which is an award-winning handbook for developing regenerative human habitat systems adaptive to drought, flooding, heat, power outage, price spikes, pest pressure, and the multitude of challenges brought by climate change, peak oil, food system contamination and economic decline.

The book also details leading-edge strategies for regenerating soil, water systems and human health through the design and operations of the homestead and farm. Check it out here
