Zoom Meeting
Agro-ecology:
How to put Carbon back into the Circle of Life where it belongs
Mike Miles & Barb Kass
Anathoth Community Farm
Mike Miles and his spouse Barb Kass started the Anathoth Community Farm in 1986 as a center for the study of nonviolence, community, and sustainable living.
Anathoth Farm was built from the ground up and comes right out of the pages of Mother Earth News: buildings with solar heating and hot water, composting toilets, greenhouses, and a 10,000 watt photovoltaic grid tie.
Produce and maple syrup have been staple crops from the beginning with animal husbandry arriving on the scene about 13 years ago.
After becoming aware of managed intensive grazing and permaculture, Mike became a soil carbon cowboy. Steers, chickens, pigs, and cover crops are the tools he uses to build soil microorganisms while sequestering carbon and producing the tastiest, healthiest meat there is.
Together with Barb, Anathoth sponsors educational events on the farm to promote good health and sustainability.
