Peter Sutera studied permaculture with the Finger Lakes Permaculture
Institute (FLPCI) in 2010. Since then, he has started his own farm in
Hammondsport, NY – about an hour’s drive west of Ithaca – where 64 apple
trees yielded nearly 500 gallons of cider this year. He says working with
FLPCI and those involved with the Institute was one of the main influences in
his decision to buy land after graduating college.

“Getting on that track of permaculture and agriculture really made me fall in
love with the region and got me on the path that I’m on today,” he said.

pruning. If you live in the region contact Pete at <oakosagefarm AT gmail.com>.
