EDIBLES
By C’Ville Foodscapes
T
here’s nothing more fresh, local,
and seasonal than eating luscious
fruits, vegetables, and herbs
grown right in your own yard. Since 2010,
C’ville Foodscapes has been helping folks
transform underutilized lawn into beautiful,
abundant, low-maintenance edible oases.
A well-designed edible landscape can build
soil, conserve water and energy, provide

habitat for wildlife, and look great, all while
producing a steady flow of delicious, nutrient-dense food for your family’s table.
Below is a list of our favorite perennial plants to help get you started. Once established,
they will produce for years to come with minimal maintenance.
Fruits · Fruits are an underrated calorie staple, and fruit trees make a stunning addition to
almost any landscape. While peaches and apples get much of the love around here, there are
quite a few fruits out there that are significantly easier to grow in our hot and humid summers.
Try: persimmon (both Asian and American), paw paw, mulberry, juneberry, elderberry
Perennial Vegetables · While most of us are familiar with asparagus and rhubarb, the
world of perennial vegetables is largely unknown to gardeners in the U.S. Unlike annual
vegetables, perennial vegetables return year after year, require less water, less weeding, and
less work. Try: asparagus, rhubarb, jerusalem artichoke, egyptian walking onion
Perennial Herbs · The list of perennial herbs that provide color and beauty in a landscape,
as well as flavor and medicine to our kitchens, is almost endless. Our most common culinary
herbs are among our most important herbal remedies, helping make up for deficiencies in
our diet. We love the Mediterranean mainstays of rosemary, sage, oregano, and thyme, but
encourage you to branch out and experiment with some traditional European and native
perennial herbs. Try: lovage, beebalm, stinging nettle, yarrow,
mountain mint
By growing food in the spaces where we live, work, and
play, we demystify agriculture, rebuild relationships between
people and the land, and reclaim a bit more of our agency
within our local food system. For more information, email us at
[email protected] or call us at (434) 806-6255.

Sylvanaqua Farms
S
by Layna Jansen
ylvanaqua Farms in Earlysville, Virginia
is being gradually morphed from a
traditional Virginia grass farm into
a sustainable and productive temperate
permaculture food forest. Permaculture is
the process of transferring patterns and
features observed in natural ecosystems into
agricultural design.
Farmer and owner Chris Newman’s goal
is to show that a well-designed permaculture
food forest can produce more calories, provide
better nutrition, and have positive effects on
the environment. "By harvesting from trees,
bushes, vines, fungals, animals, and aquatics
all in the same space, we can show that small
farms modeled off natural ecosystems can
produce enough food" explains Chris.
Developing synergy between the land and
the farm is the key to success. Chris uses pigs
to till the land and control unwanted plants
without using mechanization, while chickens
help fertilize and control the grass. The
on-farm pond will be used for growing rice in
chinampas, rectangular shallow lake beds of
fertile land, and fields tilled and renovated by
pigs will be home to a crop of oats.
Hand-built hugelkultur beds support
crop growth without the need for irrigation.
Hugelkutur beds are created by digging out
an area of soil, following the contour of the
land, and filling that hole with logs from the
surrounding forest before the beds are covered with organic material and planted with
heirloom produce—water is able to percolate
down and irrigate the crops throughout dry
spells.
“It’s our hope that by using these permaculture-based farming techniques, we can do
our part to pave the road for sustainable agriculture of the future” Chris says.
Sylvanaqua Farms is a great example of
farming that focuses on the natural ecosystem
to sustain crop and livestock production, and
provide food resources for the community.

NEWS FROM PEC
Using Fire to
Restore the Land
I
By Paula Combs
n 2013, PEC was given a 141-acre
property at Gilbert's Corner in
Loudoun County and set about
working to restore the property’s
degraded streams, enhance wildlife
habitat, and revitalize the agricultural use of the land. In the fall of
2016, PEC will work with Virginia
Department of Forestry (DOF) and
Loudoun County Offices to conduct
a prescribed burn on the property. The prescribed burn will help
control invasive species (without
the use of herbicides), put nutrients
back into the soil, avoid soil compaction that occurs when land is
mechanically cleared, and facilitate
management of the area for agricul-
tural production.
As part of the farm restoration
work, PEC has enrolled in a costshare program administered by the
Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District that provides funding
for fencing that will exclude livestock from Howser’s Branch, which As part of land restoration efforts on PEC’s property near Gilbert’s Corner,

Navigating Farmland Leasing
I
By Paula Combs
ncreasing the local food supply
and expanding opportunities
for next-generation farmers in the Piedmont depends on
improving access to affordable
farmland. Many Piedmont landowners are interested in expanding the
agricultural use of their land, and
many farmers are eager to partner
with landowners through farmland
leases. However, both landowners
and farmland seekers say that it
often proves very difficult to make
these matches in Virginia.
The Piedmont Environmental
Council is working to make farmland
leasing easier and more widespread
in the Piedmont. In the spring of
2015, we released the publication
“Finding a Place to Grow: How the
Next Generation is Gaining Access
to Farmland.” The booklet included
Social hour mingling at Parallel 38. Photo by Jess Palmer
eight profiles of successful farmland
lease arrangements in Virginia.
PEC also held two workshops
in the fall of 2015 for landowners and land seekers focused on
farmland leasing. The workshops,
one in Charlottesville and the other
in Middleburg, had the keynote
address given by Kathy Ruhf, senior
program director for Land For
Good—an organization that helps
farmers secure land in New England, as well as provide guidance
to help farmers, landowners and
communities navigate the complex
challenges of land access, tenure
and transfer. Presentations by local
Virginia attorneys with experience
in the legal side of farmland leasing
arrangements followed. A panel of
farmers leasing land, landowners
and service professionals rounded
out the workshops with tips and
advice for those seeking leasing
arrangements.
PEC is excited to be hosting
several other leasing workshops
and events in 2016. The first event
was held in Charlottesville in late
March. This social hour style event
gave landowners and land seekers
an opportunity to meet and share
information. Virginia Farm Link and
the Virginia Certified Farm Seeker
program were on hand to provide
information on the resources they
offer. We will be offering another
workshop in Fauquier County in
Summer 2016, and one in Loudoun
County in Fall 2016.

NEWS FROM PEC
Mob Grazing in Rappahannock
T
By Jess Palmer
he Piedmont region of
Virginia has long been a
pasture-based farming
area. Continuous grazing of land
has lead to poor plant cover, soil
compaction and weed pressure.
Due to the environmental and
economic impacts of overgrazing,
it’s an important issue for agricultural and conservation groups. But
changing an agricultural operation
can seem risky to farmers, and
some are wary of trying new pasture management practices.
In 2013, PEC and partners
embarked on a project funded
by a grant from the USDA Natural
Resource Conservation Service. In
cooperation with Virginia Cooperative Extension, PEC is working
with Michael Sands—the manager
of Over Jordan Farm and owner
of Bean Hollow Grassfed in Rappahannock County—to create a
place where livestock producers
can come see and evaluate different
management practices and their
effects on livestock health, weight
gain, and soil and pasture health. The previously overgrazed
pastures of Over Jordan Farm are
perfect for testing the effects of
rotational and multi-species grazing. These two techniques have
been shown to improve the health
of the land and livestock. Mike
Sands manages a combination of
cows and sheep on 110 acres of
the farm. He plans to graze them
on multiple fields with different
management objectives, including
native grasses for summer grazing, stockpiled fescue for winter
strip-grazing, and improved and
unimproved mixed grass pastures.
“My goal is to have an ecosystem
here that is productive, profitable,
and full of wildlife,” says Sands.
Through biannual soil sampling, plant surveys, and continual
time lapse photography of different
pasture management practices,
the project aims to offer insight on
how mob and rotational grazing
of sheep and cows can positively
affect livestock health and farm
profitability.

Walks on May 10, 2016 and August 2, 2016. More information

Integral Yoga
Natural Foods
by Laurel Abowd
F
or the last forty-one years, Integral
Yoga Natural Foods has been a leader in
supplying the Charlottesville area with
local food. Tracing its roots back to Yogaville,
the store follows the yoga philosophy of no
harm to animals or humans, and this pledge is
apparent throughout the small grocery store.
On the shelves, you’ll find products including
cheese, bread, honey, and an abundance
of produce free of pesticides and GMO
ingredients.
As I walk through the produce section
with general manager Wahe Guru Singh, he
explains that for Integral Yoga Natural Foods,
local is a way to provide customers with the
freshest and tastiest fruits and vegetables—
crops have a shorter travel time to market and
can be harvested closer to peak ripeness.
Supporting local food also helps build
community, so it’s no surprise that many of
Integral Yoga’s (IY) customers have been

shopping at the store for decades. According
to Singh, “people come and connect with each
other. It is more than just a grocery store.” For
new customers, the store’s bountiful, fresh
produce is a major draw. Many customers say
that IY offers the best local produce around.
Their produce can also be enjoyed as part
of a freshly made smoothie from the store’s
Smoothie and Juice Bar, the first to open in
Charlottesville. I had the pleasure of trying a
strawberry smoothie. With the first delicious
sip, I could almost hear Strawberry Fields
Forever playing in the background. Keith, who
made my smoothie, says that, “providing
nourishment and connecting with customers,”
are the reasons he’s chosen to work there for
the last five years.
Shopping at IY is an excellent way to
incorporate local food into your diet. As Singh
puts it, IY focuses on “creating mindfulness
about the food that you eat.” They invite you
to come explore the store and check out their
website at iyfoods.com.
