Orchard, Vineyard, and Farm Consultations
Mike offers consultations for small, medium, and large growers. His consulting philosophy is ‘regenerative’ using holistic practices and ecologically focused philosophies for apples, pears, stone fruit, “other” tree fruit, small fruit, and grapes.
He works and farms with regenerative and holistic practices that help create a healthy resilient agricultural environment with reverence for all life. With over 40 years’ experience as a grower and consultant, his capacity for helping novice farmers get started, developing revitalization and management plans, solving problems without the use of toxic chemicals and fertilizers, and transitioning to holistic farming practices is unparalleled.
How do you get started?
Option A. Online/Remote. Growers (you) purchase consulting time here (see below "Add to Cart" button). We’ll schedule Zoom calls to conduct the actual consultation and will use email and other means to communicate and send information back and forth.
Option B. Out-of-Region/Small Growers. Seasonal consultations begin in March and run through August. Weekly prescheduled Zoom calls are up to 1-hour call per week, all calls are via Zoom. Pricing is $2400 invoiced in mid-February. Unused time per call is banked for later use. If we go over the allocated time for any session, the extra time is subtracted from the following week’s call or billed at regular consulting rates ($125 per hour). If research or other outside work is required this may be subtracted from the total time allotted or billed extra at regular consulting rates ($125 per hour). No extra billing will occur without Client authorization.
Option C. Seasonal Contracts. I am not taking any additional Seasonal Growers now. Check back after the growing season for more information and updates.
