"Aerial bird's eye view of a 3-acre permaculture farm in the Finger Lakes region, showing a gently sloping landscape from ridge to creek. The design includes: a small house on the ridge line surrounded by intensive kitchen gardens with raised beds and a greenhouse, transitioning to fruit orchards with apple and pear trees in neat rows, then to a diverse food forest with mixed canopy trees, berry bushes, and understory plantings. The middle section shows annual crop fields in geometric patterns with contour swales (curved earthworks) for water harvesting. The lower area features managed pasture with scattered trees (silvopasture) and wildflower meadows. At the bottom, a meandering creek with dense riparian vegetation including willows and native shrubs. The landscape shows terraced areas on the slope, pathways connecting different zones, and small ponds for water storage. Lush green vegetation, realistic lighting, peaceful rural setting, photographed from 200 feet above, showing the integration of productive agriculture with natural ecosystems." See more
