About Farm Profiles:
All ARKx Network profiles are provided and published with permission, so that others can see success stories and learn more about regional and widespread agroforestry practice adoption. Please always respect privacy and property; contact them directly via public information regarding opportunities to connect. Some ARKx participants choose not to share their location or limit contact info. If a profile includes little to no contact information, that means they do not wish to be contacted by site users or the wider agroforestry community.
