Kenny Braitman, a disabled veteran, on his farm in rural Western Maryland.

Since retiring from the military, Kenny has become passionate about permaculture farming, tying it to his Appalachian roots. "As a kid, I was always taught not to waste." says Kenny "And in permaculture there really is no such thing as waste. Everything can be reused, everything is connected."
