Are you curious about Home Funeral and Green Burial practices/options in Maryland? Join Michael Judd as he invites you to consider choices for end-of-life care, home funeral, home burial, and green burial practices. Michael will share information, resources, and personal experiences as he honors the wise traditions of natural burial and the relevance of these choices for us today. Talk and tour at the Morris Orchard, Frederick county’s first natural burial site which is centered in a chestnut orchard, so there will be an open fire and roasted chestnuts!
Michael Judd has worked with agro-ecological and whole-system designs throughout the Americas for over two decades, focusing on applying permaculture and ecological design. His projects increase local food security and community health in both tropical and temperate growing regions. He is the founder of Ecologia Edible & Ecological Landscape Design, Project Bona Fide, an international nonprofit supporting agro-ecology research, co-founder of SilvoCulture, a Maryland based nonprofit which is helping plant 1 million nut trees in the Mid-Atlantic region, and Morris Orchard Natural Burial.
