"Satoyama Mountain Farm is a unique farm with a vision inspired by the traditional Japanese concept of "satoyama," which refers to the harmonious relationship between people and nature in rural landscapes. This concept emphasizes sustainability, ecological balance, and community-oriented practices.
Located in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Satoyama Mountain Farm is known for its commitment to sustainable farming practices. The farm integrates various aspects of permaculture and agroecology, aiming to create a self-sustaining ecosystem. This includes growing a diverse range of crops, raising livestock, and managing natural resources in a way that supports environmental health and biodiversity.
The farm also often hosts educational programs and workshops focused on sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship, and traditional farming techniques. These programs are designed to engage the community and promote awareness about sustainable living practices."
