Micro Habitats

Plum Hollow Farms is dedicated to creating unique zones that support a diversity of plant, animal, and microbial lifeforms.

Supporting our non-human partners 🦋🐞🪱 🐝

In farming there are hundreds of variables that are out of your control. But one way to increase resilience in the face of changing conditions is to increase the diversity of lifeforms that your land supports.

This is the spirit behind our efforts to create micro-habitats that benefit indigenous plants, wildlife, and invertebrates.

Water habitats

Along with our wetland areas, ponds provide sanctuary for wildlife like dragonflies, frogs, and birds by providing food, water, shelter, and safe breeding.

Hedgerow habitats

Planting hedgerows instead of fencing is an impactful way to support roosting birds and insects while protecting soil from wind and water erosion.

Meadow habitats

Meadows help with flood control and groundwater recharge while providing critical habitats for indigenous plants, insects, and wildlife.
