Talking about Agave and Cactus from farms to products. Will cover using permaculture practices on farms for the new industry of California Agave Spirits & California Cactus fruit & wine. I farm both agave & cactus in Hi Vista & Lancaster, which are cities in Northeast Los Angeles County, & in the Western Mojave Desert. I will talk about my experiences, observations, opinions & tips on Agave & Cactus farming in California.
I will cover what i believe the future is for these 2 plant families in california, what products i believe they most will be used for, and exciting plants. Some examples of agave products can include fiber, food, inulin, spirits, or syrup. Cactus products can be animal forage, fruit, jams, juices, & wine. Both agave and Cactus can be great plants to add for fire protection as their leaves are full of water.

Opuntia Littoralis, or California Prickly Pear; an excellent CA Native plant to farm in California
Todays podcast is on Opuntia Littoralis, also known as Coastal Prickly Pear & California prickly pear. Its one of my strongest cactus that i grow, it is a california native, drought tolerant, cold hardy, and fast growing with 1000+ uses. It is among my favorites! I hope today you learn about opuntia littoralis and get excited enough to grow it or other opuntias or cactus. Alot of potential in the cactus family for dryfarm crops. Lots of products to make as well. If you need any opuntia littoralis, agave or cactus plants contact me by dm on :
