Coverage of vegan farming at Pacific Roots Magazine is intended, in part, to raise visibility of the reality and viability of vegan agriculture worldwide. We are excited to share Winter updates from a few of the farms we have previously featured. Enjoy!

We prune many perennial plants, including aronia, elderberry, currant, honeyberry & fruit trees in the winter and spring. Here Mable is inspecting raspberry canes. Photo: Arbor Farmstead
We take cuttings from native plants when they are dormant in the winter so we can grow more. Pictured is red osier dogwood & willows, which do well in wet areas and are well loved by pollinators for their relatively early blooms. Photo: Arbor Farmstead
We intentionally try and keep some areas “scruffy” to provide overwintering habitat for wildlife, including pollinators. Photo: Arbor Farmstead
