ReGeneration proved so popular that we’re bringing it back – along with two brand new episodes!

In the first two programs, environmental activist Genest visits pioneering businesses and farms. For the two new programs, episodes three and four, Genest assembles a team of Vermont eco-visionaries, landscape designers, energy experts and architects to explore ideas for sustainable living that begin at home.

Episode three finds Genest at his old farmhouse in Isle La Motte, Vt., showing how he is using permaculture (permanent agriculture) to transform acres of lawn to a “multi-yielding food forest” with profitable food, fiber, fuel, forage and habitat -- along with beauty and fun. While episode four tours innovative design projects for a glimpse of the green sustainable future.
