We’re saddened to share the passing of Dr. Philip Allan Wheeler, a formative figure in Acres U.S.A.’s early years and co-author of The Nontoxic Farming Handbook. From the mid-1980s through the 2010s, his agronomic insight, teaching, and vision helped guide thousands toward more ecological farming. His legacy remains deeply woven into the Acres U.S.A. community.

Farewell to a true innovator and teacher.
