Joe Polaischer at Rainbow Valley Farm

Joe, a highly skilled and much loved craftsman and permaculture teacher, was himself a huge store of precious skills and knowledge. He is pictured here with many examples of energy caught and stored.  The passive solar house that he and Trish Allen built, the well bred and cared for milking cow, kitchen garden, attached grape vine, the tree shelterbelt behind - all of these catch and store energy from sunlight. Rainbow Valley Farm.
This image and story was published in the 2009 Permaculture Calendar.
