High Desert Permaculture- Cedar Springs Farm

High Desert Permaculture- Cedar Springs Farm

The swales are planted densely with food bearing trees, shrubs and legumous ground cover. The pastures in between the swales are sub-irrigated by the slowly moving water, and produce an abundance of graze for our cattle and hogs. Each swale drains into its own small pond on the driest ridge of the farm.
