One thing I wanted to talk about in this blog is the farming that Garden of Eden conducts. Although there are plenty of herbs and berries already on the land, they plant and irrigate much more. Their largest crop is their salad greens grown year round in raised beds.
Another part of the food production at Garden of Eden is their chickens. There are also two goats, five rabbits, and a couple of dozen chickens. A shelter was built a few years back to house all of the animals, made out of re-purposed pallets, with a billboard tarp serving as the roof. This can house 100 chickens, four goats and a dozen rabbits.
Like I said, they plant their own berries; however, there are often berries that have already grown on the land that they utilize. The video below shows Quinn Eaker, leader, tasting some berries on the land. He gives some information on the plant and describes how it tastes, etc. It’s interesting to watch.
Although it’s not a long video, this is a part of series that the community puts out once a week. This series talks about a variety of topics and happenings at the community to help outsiders up to date.
(Also: while this video is posted on Quinn’s personal YouTube account, there is also a YouTube account for Garden of Eden. Both accounts post frequently.)
