Visualizing Your Future Farm – A Guided Meditation with Barbara Decré
Agroforestry systems require a different approach than annual cropping systems. The trees that we plant will most likely outlive us…or at least we hope they will. So it is very important for us to carefully consider our design and plans in the long term and imagine the role they will play in our lives, on our farms, and in our communities in the long term. This meditation helps you envision your future farm.
