Beyond Paradise Lot with Jonathan Bates of Food Forest Farm

On today's episode, we have the pleasure to host Jonathan Bates who several years ago, with his friend Eric Toensmeier, designed and stewarded a food forest made up of over 300 species of edible and medicinal plants on a 1/10th acre lot in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Join us as we talk to Jonathan about his experience living at Paradise Lot, and learn about some of the new work that he has been up to in The Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. If you are at all interested in low tannin acorns, or cold hardy figs for USDA Zone 5/6 homesteads, then this episode might be of specific interest to you.
