Eric Toensmeier Bio
Eric Toensmeier has studied and practiced permaculture since 1990. He has spent much of his adult life exploring edible and useful plants of the world and their use in perennial agroecosystems. He is the author of Perennial Vegetables and co-author of Edible Forest Gardens with Dave Jacke. Both books have received multiple awards. Eric ran an urban farm project for Nuestras Raíces in Holyoke Massachusetts, providing access to land for Latino and refugee beginning farmers and serving as a cultural agritourism destination. His urban homestead is a model of how to apply permaculture to a small space with poor soils. Eric is fluent in English, Spanish, and Botanical Latin, and recently returned from teaching a five-day food forest workshop in Veracruz Mexico, entirely in Spanish.
