Modern Sustainability...old-fashioned methods

Welcome to Modern Sustainability. I hope to share our family adventures trying to turn our 2 acres in central Missouri into a some-what sustainable farm. We are currently growing fruit trees, berries and nut trees as well as a large vegetable garden. As we produce more each year, we learn more and more about food preservation, composting, water collection/irrigation, pest management and living lightly on the land. I hope you enjoy learning from our adventures and mistakes. Happy gardening!
