About this title

About the Author

Catherine Katz likes to be organized. Now retired, she spent her work life managing relationships for schools and school-software developers. Her focus took a turn in 2007, when, in response to climate change predictions, Catherine and her husband of 50 years, Michael, began preparing for an uncertain future. They bought a three-acre floodplain cornfield that had been farmed for 1000 years and set out to learn about permaculture farming and how to grow their own food. In 2011, their farm, That's A Plenty Farm, evolved into the first pollinator habitat in western Massachusetts to be funded in part by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. In 2012, they downsized their carbon footprint by moving into a tiny house on the farm; tiny house living has proven to be comfortable and satisfying. The farm's focus is sustainability - ready for whatever happens - with a goal to eventually have a net positive effect on family, community, and the creatures with whom we share the planet.
