I took Patrick's workshop last year. His philosophy toward regenerative farming made a lot of sense to me, and his passion and commitment to caring for and regenerating the earth's soil were evident in his practice. Patrick is knowledgeable, caring, kind and a great teacher. I learned so much about our connections with the plant world and how it operated under the ground. If you are a farming beginner, look no further! His method doesn't break your back, no more tilling!! If you are a serious backyard farmer who is looking for pro advice and knowledge, you are in the right place. You will not regret it. Besides, Patrick's farm is surrounded by beautiful nature in Napa, and driving out there is a great getaway trip in itself!
