He inherited land which was close to worthless. Averaging something like 5000 feet elevation and dropping down like a cliff it was no good for farming and had only scrub and near-worthless pine trees. Few/no water features, no microclimates, not much would live there.
I trained with Sepp in Montana and saw him take a mosquito infested, ugly, swamp and turn it into a series of interconnected ponds, with giant snaking hugelbeds to break the wind, providing growing area, and creating microclimates. He's the real deal. The pictures don't do him justice.
