About this episode
Today we’re hanging out with farmer and author Zach Loeks and he’s going to answer 5 questions. We’ll talk about his work at Ecosystem Solution Institute and we’re going to learn more about micro-landscaping. After the interview we’re going to celebrate with a Tomato Extravaganza.. because right now I am obsessed with America’s favorite fruit!
Zack Loeks is an educator, designer and grower, who specializes in Edible Ecosystem Design. He also manages an award-winning farm and has written a handful of books including The Permaculture Market Garden and The Edible Ecosystem Solution.

After the interview, it’s time to talk tomatoes! I share some info about a presentation I’ve been giving this spring – Let’s Talk Tomatoes, America’s Favorite Fruit.
It’s a popular presentation that I’m scheduled to be giving at all three of the Mother Earth News Fairs this year. We’ll explore the history of this tasty little fruit… and then we’ll talk about some of our favorite types and varieties.
