Helen Atthowe has worked for 35 years to connect farming food systems land stewardship and conservation. She farmed and conducted research at Woodleaf Farm in eastern Oregon until spring 2023 when she moved to western Montana. She is helping the new owners of the Oregon farm learn her ecological management system as she simultaneously begins a new Woodleaf Farm in Montana where she has already planted a no-till orchard of thirty fruit trees. Helen and her late husband Carl Rosato co-owned and operated a certified organic orchard in California where they pioneered methods for raising apples peaches and other tree fruits without the use of any type of pesticides. Her on-farm research includes ecological weed and insect management organic minimum soil disturbance systems for vegetable and orchard crops and managing living mulches for soil and habitat building. She is a contributing writer to The Organic Gardeners Handbook of Natural Pest and Disease Control and other books. She has served as a board member for the Organic Farming Research Foundation and advisor for the Wild Farm Alliance. Atthowe has a masters degree in horticulture from Rutgers University and has worked in education and research at the University of Arkansas Rutgers University and Oregon State University and served as a horticulture extension agent in Montana where she annually taught an organic master gardener course.
