15. Backyard Adventuring and Edible Landscaping with Cory Suter, Suters Glen Permaculture Farm

Virginia Outdoor Adventures: Hiking, Camping, Kayaking, Local Travel and more!

“What I enjoy most about the farming lifestyle is being close to the Earth. Being outside helps us relax. The more we learn how to work with nature instead of trying to dominate nature, the happier and healthier both will be. We can receive better nutrition from the soil, but also we can be a society where we value what the soil feeds us and we give back to the Earth.” - Cory Suter, Suters Glen Permaculture Farm
