## Overview

Erik and Olivia were introduced to the little piece of family land that would become Fern Hollow Farm in June of 2014. What was an Alfalfa (medicago sativa) field lain fallow for seven years, would soon have bigger ambitions. After walking the meadow and feeling the magic of place, Olivia and Erik began the work of designing. Shortly thereafter, they set off across the US, staying at various permaculture oriented farms; with herbalists, seed savers and more, looking for inspiration and learning everything they could along the way. One seed saver, the awe-inspiring Sylvia Davatz of Solstice Seeds in Vermont, gifted them the two wild Kazak apple trees that are on either side of the entrance, and are featured in the logo as well.

Begun officially in 2015, Fern Hollow Farm is an ever-evolving, community-based entity inspired by three simple ethics:

                                Earth Care     *    People Care     *      Fair Share

> We really enjoyed camping here! The campsite was large and well maintained, there were trails on the property, and the owners were very nice. We’d definitely stay here again!

> Erik and Olivia’s permaculture farm was great! We camped with our little teardrop trailer in the pull through site and it was very private and quiet. Felt like we had our own private section of the woods. Saw so many different species of birds. Erik gave us a nice tour of the farm. We loved using the outdoor solar heated shower. We can’t wait to come back.

> Permaculture Paradise is a lovely place outside Somerset, OH. We texted our arrival window about an hour out and were met by our host, shown to our spot (with a complimentary stock of firewood), and given a brief tour of the grounds. We felt welcome and comfortable immediately. The weekend weather was uncooperative but the little bit of the farm we were able to experience was quite nice. I see us returning to Permaculture Paradise in order to experience more of this peaceful paradise!

> The sunset was amazing! There are a couple of different camp sites on the land, we stayed at the one with the outdoor kitchen. It was a beautiful space to stay!
