Teal Farm is a future-looking farm, ecological preserve, and residence seeking to prototype perpetual agriculture and energy systems that are capable of meeting regional food and energy needs despite the tumultuous conditions of climate change, fluctuating energy supplies, and an oil-dependent global economy.
WSD completed a master plan for the 1300-acre site that lays out management plans for the next 100 years. The project centered around a mission to build a low-input agricultural ecosystem.
"Ben's ideas are not pie-in-the-sky, they are realizable. We are harvesting seaberries, quince, aronia, goumi, cold hardy kiwis, currants, cherries, plums, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus, horseradish, hazelnuts, and shiitake mushrooms—all of which were planted as part of Ben's Master Plan.
