ABOUT DAVID BLUME
“Bucky’s quote was ‘make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone’ — and Dave Blume is one of the top people in the world that’s ever truly made that come true.” —George Orbelian, Board Member at the Buckminster Fuller Institute, fiscal sponsor of Whiskey Hill Farms.
David Blume (“Farmer Dave”), founder of Whiskey Hill Farms & Science Center, is a consultant, speaker, inventor, researcher, organic farmer, alcohol expert, author, teacher and doer with decades of experience at the cutting edge of permaculture, regenerative agricultural technology, and alcohol fuel as these fit into local-scale ecological no-waste solutions that, replicated, solve so many of the Earth’s seemingly unsolvable problems.

Patent to Destroy Monsanto“Edible Innovators: Still Farming”
In this article in Edible Monterey Bay, Deborah Luhrman writes:
What was once a giant packing shed now houses fermentation tanks and 12-foothigh distillation towers where Blume has been practicing what he calls “mankind’s second oldest profession”—making alcohol.
The objective is to manufacture and sell distillation equipment that converts food wastes into alcohol, which can then be used for dozens of purposes from fuel to vodka. Inside the hothouses, the couple is growing tropical crops like ginger and turmeric, alongside out-of-season produce such as melons and cucumbers—using ingenious low-tech methods that include using water heated in a giant compost pile to keep their plants warm.

Edible Monterey Bay Still Farming“Future Farmer: David Blume Is Planting the Seeds of a Clean-Fuel Revolution”
In this article in Good Times magazine, author Mark C. Anderson writes:
Way out off a rural road in Watsonville, a full-on tropical forest bursts with life. Hundreds of fruiting plants, 450 all told, fill a large greenhouse. The jungle pops with passionfruit blossoms, big bunches of bananas, mountain papayas, tropical spinach and multiple types of South American “tree tomatoes” (aka tomarillos).
But it’s just one of the fascinating elements at Whiskey Hill Farms. So many eye-catching things are thriving here, in fact, that it can be easy to miss the big picture—even if the big picture involves preventing war, food waste, hunger and carbon monoxide poisoning.
