“A fascinating book from a man who has spent his life working with nature and creating incredibly diverse polycultures. His work is breathtaking.” — Maddie Harland, editor of Permaculture Magazine. Sepp Holzer’s farm is over 100 acres of forest and farmland nestled on a mountainside in the Austrian Alps, at an altitude of 1,200 to 1,500 meters above sea level. The stunning site contrasts starkly with the dark fir forests on the surrounding slopes with its incredible lacework of terraces, raised beds, ponds, streams, and neat buildings, all connected by a network of roads and paths. Instead of monoculture forests, the mountainside here is covered in lush fruit forests and other vegetation — the most vibrant example of permaculture in action anywhere in the world. In this book, Sepp Holzer reveals in detail and in all practical details his approach and all the techniques for such a successful implementation of a harmonious natural environment for humans, plants and animals.
