Our Mission, at Wilde on Turtle Island, is to demonstrate that it is possible to feed the population AND live in harmony with the natural world.
The mainstream approach to food production is a story of man vs nature: clearing the soil of all life that could compete with the food crops. Using huge machines to apply herbicides and pesticides and plowing, to kill the weeds and bugs and mycelium. Then planting hundreds of acres with a single crop for maximum economies of scale.
But there is another way.
Our goal is to grow food with as little human intervention as possible. Instead of dominating nature, we choose to work with nature. To use the natural symbiosis of plants and fungus and insects and birds to produce food WITHIN a healthy ecosystem.
We hope you'll come and see what is possible!
We sell over 100 varieties of annual and perennial seedlings. If you have ever wanted to grow a White Egg Eggplant or taste a Wonderberry, we have the seedlings for you!
Our large, private campsites are set among the wildflowers and fruit trees of our Permaculture Food Forest and family farm.
In our attempt to reduce the impact of our time on this earth, we work as much as we can with recycled and repurposed goods.
Escape the noise of the city and stroll through the winding trails of our peaceful Food Forest. You won't even need to pack a snack!
At Wilde on Turtle Island, we mark a number of Pagan and Indigenous celebrations.
You and your family can experience the rewards of caring for animals and the land, with a weekend of shadowing and mentorship from the farmers of Wilde on Turtle Island.
When Laura and Garnet bought 13 acres in 2005, they knew that sustainable agriculture wasn't enough. They wanted to IMPROVE the land, through regenerative agricultural practices.
Our Food Forest was built along the principles of Permaculture: caring for people, for the earth, and for the future.
The climate crisis seems so big and overwhelming. But we can focus on our little patch of the earth. Let's make it better than we found it.
We love our customers, and would love to show you what we do.
