Healing Tree Farm at DeYoung is a 12-acre

permaculture-based demonstration farm just outside of Traverse City, MI.

Following the guiding principles of Permaculture, Healing Tree is connecting people

with the concepts of growing sustainably within existing ecosystems. Our mission is

to demonstrate orcharding skills and techniques that may be integrated into existing

conventional farms, reducing the use of biocides and petrol-derived fertilizers. We

demonstrate holistic orchard care, connecting growers with new and revived methods

for healing the old orchards; creating an environment that is safe for farmers,

workers, and the neighboring community.
