The Emerald garden
Bio
Welcome to the Emerald Garden! I’m AugstLee Gramig (she, her) and I’m a farming student from Louisville, KY. I graduated from the Wendell Berry Farming Program (Henry Co. KY) of Sterling College (VT) in May of 2021 and have been working at farmers markets and continuing to write my academic book on Ecofeminism. In addition, I am a fiber artist, quilter, writer, gardener, and pet mom. While I don’t currently work on or operate a farm, I garden in my yard and at a 20' x 40' plot at the EP Tom Sawyer State Park Community Gardens. I am working on starting my own fiber business selling my farmers market goods online as well, and direct marketing my extra produce from my gardens. One of my biggest sellers at the markets has been my embroidery. Past embroidery projects include the Chicken collection, the Hamlet collection, the Meditative collection, and my newest collection, Buds for Life. On this page you’ll probably hear very quickly about my Senior Year Capstone Research Project in the WBFP, SYRP for short. My SYRP was an academic book which included my farm plan. One of my goals is to either rent or buy a small amount of land in Henry County, KY, to get established and immersed in farm life with a self sustaining garden and chickens, and within 10 years, expand. I hope to share my knowledge and foster as well as learn from community wisdom with whoever I can, and to raise good land steward agrarians.
Cheers and Blessings,
AugustLee

Mission
Honoring traditional and heritage knowledge of agriculture and agrarian culture, we seek to raise food for ourselves and our community. Through shared knowledge with the young and old, we hope to establish a space for ecological creativity and healing inspiration with our neighbors and community. We are dedicated to a variety of teaching and learning experiences on the farm—believing that knowledge comes from experiential learning. We are dedicated to immersing all of the senses in the wonder of farmstead and wilderness. We are dedicated to preserving biodiversity with heritage breeds of poultry, goats, and wool sheep to feed the creative and dietary appetites of our community. With best management practices in ecological, low-impact farming; proper nutrient and watershed management; and rotational grazing, we respect and cherish our partnership with the land and water. Ultimately, our mission is to be good community members and good land stewards.
