Each year, Jim Kovaleski uses the changing seasons to bring balance, joy & a respectable income. His outlook & approaches are considered unconventional, according to modern standards, living what the local & national press has called a 'Nomadic' farmer's life.
Each year in late spring, Jim travels up to a small town outside Eastport, Maine, to grow the most delicious, clean & vibrant food you can find. In early fall, he packs up & heads down to Florida to repeat the same routine.
Jim does not follow the rules. He creates evolving adaptations with a mixture of pure, refined classic agriculture practices like using a scythe, techniques that have been passed along by elder growers, elements from books that have proven their worth, & through the intrinsic insights gained from living with the land in a process of slowing down to hear the earth's subtle hints.
Jim teaches through meaningful conversations based on his long term experience. The insights & techniques he has collected are invaluable, and his natural farming process looks similar to walking meditation. He plants, harvests, prepares, and markets in a way that flows naturally. A person could easily get accustomed to a day job like this and through this course, you will see exactly how this is all possible.
