Michael has lived in the company of gardens his whole life.  For a significant part of his youthful years, chickens (eggs), goats (milk), and deer (venison) kept he and his family fed while dead trees and labor filled his family's wood stove. As an adult, Michael has used a mix of the farm back home, landlord's land, and his own backyard to supply fresh, homegrown food for himself and his family.  Michael's abundant garden and hunger to help currently grows in Zone 4b in St. Paul, MN.
