Eric Toensmeier Tours His Backyard Perennial Food Garden and teaches us that with a little know how, we can change the way we look at “yard work”. He is producing delicious, healthy food nearly year round in a relatively small space.

The video runs 30 minutes. Enjoy!

In this video, Eliot Coleman, author of the recently released The Winter Harvest Handbook: Year-Round Vegetable Production Using Deep Organic Techniques and Unheated Greenhouses, presents the story of the winter harvest. He speaks about how he came to become the nation’s leading four-season farmer and the shock of the industrial establishment when his all-organic cold-weather growing methods proved to be not only possible—but more productive than “traditional” (chemical) methods.

Eliot Coleman is my hero.
