A major goal of New Alchemy’s research was to explore ways to produce food— local, healthy, and sufficient food— using sustainable methods that do not rely on fossil fuel and avoid chemical toxins. Inspiration and information was taken from observation of nature, learning how pre-industrial societies sustained themselves, and applying new scientific knowledge. The result is a set of ecologically derived methods of producing food: intensive vegetable production, perennial food crops, tree crops, and indoor winter food production in bioshelters.

The Green Center 
I lived in Falmouth, MA in 1983 and was a member of New Alchemy Institute during that year. I also visited this awesome place more than once . I moved to Vermont in 1987 where I presently reside. My life goal is to start a nonprofit farm here in Vermont and work with children through day programs involving vegetable farming. Hopefully a greenhouse similar to the Cape Cod Ark will be part of the farm.
