Perennial Roots Farm — Delmarva Biodynamic Permaculture
http://www.perennialroots.com/

Our goals and practices are a synthesis of biodynamic rhythms and
principles of permanent agriculture. We are committed not only to nominal
“sustainable” practices, but to regenerative practices that increase
fertility with every season. We use intensive multi-species rotational
grazing which keeps our animals healthier and nurtures our soil. We use
cover crops to enliven the soil, build carbon, and provide habitat for
beneficial insects. We compost as much as we can. Even the weeds are all an
integral part of this process of healing the Earth. We grow exclusively
non-GMO open pollinated heirloom plants and raise heritage breed pigs,
sheep, geese, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and turkeys. Most of our vegetables
and animals that we raise are listed on the Slow Food Ark of Taste
<https://www.slowfoodusa.org/ark-of-taste-in-the-usa> for their unique
history and superior flavor. Most of the animals we raise are part of an
effort to preserve the genetic heritage of heritage breeds listed as “at
risk” or “critical” by the Livestock Conservancy

We are an agri-artisan on the Virginia Eastern Shore Artisan Trail
