Angela Ferraro-Fanning is the founder and grower, farmer, and natural ecosystem steward behind The Arcadia Project in Central New Jersey. She grows food for her family of four while supporting and inviting nature. The Arcadia Project is a permaculture farm which means patterns in nature are mimicked as an ecologically-centric approach to farming. We support and invite wildlife, naturally restore our soil and strive to improve the greater soil web. We use functional animals and we grow food forests with zero chemicals nor additives. Our initiative is about environmental stewardship and reaping the literal harvest of those efforts. In 2023 Angela became certified through Cornell University as a Permaculturist. Now she strives to share this passion for natural homestead living with others through her social media accounts, online homesteading courses, her plant-based cookbook called The Harvest Table, The Little Homesteader/Little Country Cottage series and The Sustainable Homestead.
