Top Organic and Permaculture Farms On Instagram

When we talk about healthy and sustainable eating in our cooking school, we can’t stress enough, how important it is to understand, where our food comes from. Farmers, who practice organic farming and permaculture, are the people who are carving the healthy future of our planet, doing one of the hardest and most important works in the world.

Since food origin is a global discussion, we will be looking at organic farms that are based all around the world but have their respective Instagram pages in English and capture audiences in their native country and throughout the world as well. They share their farmer’s journey and showcase the nourishing beauty of our planet. If you care about your personal health, and the health of our planet, I would suggest you follow and support these inspiring farmers — believe me, you’ll never think about food the same way again.
