Hi All! My name is Mary (she/her), and I live in Arlington, WA on a beautiful 20 acre farm, Pragtree Farm. I have been co-stewarding this land with three of my friends for a couple of years now and am honored to be a part of this intentional community. This farm has a rich history of many hands contributing to caring for this space in a way that helps to regenerate the earth. Tending to the land is truly one of my passions. I am excited to connect with you all and be a part of this collective, where we can share what we are working on and what we are learning and get feedback from others on how to best take care of the land (and each other). I am a landscape/farm designer who is passionate about regenerative farming practices. I love bringing designs to life by embracing my artsy side, but really, it is my goal to help others and put my all into this "work." I want to continue learning how I can help land owners, fellow stewards, enthusiasts, and daydreamers explore the tools it takes to create a sanctuary that fully embodies permaculture ethics and is soothing to the soul. We are in this together and can't wait to meet you! P.s. Say hi to your dog for me.

I’m interested to see where everyone here is from around the world. If you are in the ‘rest of world’ comment below where you are. We can always ask more polls to determine where in the USA/ Australia etc we are so we might connect in a more regional sense.

A few of you guys have talked about blackberry being a big problem , I’m wondering if you have tried using goat herds to clear them out. In Australia I know we have people that take their goats to property’s to clear out lantana amongst other things. This vid is in America and is targeting blackberries https://youtu.be/hWAJjOwYWF4?si=pbaDYbuA6TTF1gTi
