David Buchanan Eat by Design PO Box 5140 Portland, ME 04101 207.233.5534 stillmangreen@yahoo.com Design Consulting If you want to grow food but don’t know where to start, give me a call. I can help you site and design a garden, select interesting fruits, herbs and vegetables, and lead you through the construction process. Please also contact me for information about the Kitchen Gardeners International grant fund. Professional Background David Buchanan manages Turkey Hill Farm in Cape Elizabeth, Maine for the Portland-based non-profit organization Cultivating Community. In addition to raising food for low-income seniors, the farm serves as an educational resource for adults and children of all ages. On-site projects emphasize ecology, preservation of endangered foods, and sustainable landscape and garden design. The farm showcases heritage foods from around the world and promotes their use through tastings, including farm dinners with guest chefs. In the farm’s off season David consults on sustainable landscape design, drawing on experience working on urban parks, native habitat restoration, agricultural sites, community gardens, and multi-use trails. Past projects include designs for redevelopment of the 25 city parks of Lawrence, Massachusetts, and a master plan for multi-use trails on the 4000-acre former Fort Devens. Sustainable agriculture design projects in Maine include a master plan for the non-profit Morris Farm in Wiscasset and an urban “farm” and heritage orchard for Cultivating Community. He helped found and then led the Portland, Maine chapter of Slow Food for three years.
