MEET YOUR HOST

Sean Dembrosky of Edible Acres

Even among permies, where generosity, resourcefulness, and community are shared values, Sean Dembrosky shines. Recipient of the 2021 Permaculture Leaders’ People’s Choice Award, he has gained a large and passionate following through his low-tech/no-tech, low-cost/no-cost approach to plant propagation, polyculture development and perennial food and medicine crops.

As owner and operator of the agroforestry-based permaculture nursery Edible Acres in New York’s Finger Lakes district, Sean teaches and vlogs on homesteading and permaculture principles and practices. With his modest presence and conversational style, he has been a popular speaker at Verge summits, and we’re thrilled to feature him in this Verge Academy Masterclass.
