J.A. Harrison also owns and operates Cloud-Monger Urban Farm and Certified Wildlife Habitat™, where he manages several honeybee hives and National Wildlife Federation bathouses, cares for a mixed flock of laying hens and Indian runner ducks, and cultivates many of the herbs, fruits, vegetables, and raw materials used in the development of his bitters, syrups, tinctures and tonics for new cocktail recipes.

Always seeking out ways to improve sustainability, reduce carbon footprint, and provide for mother nature’s endangered pollinators, J.A. repurposed an ex-bourbon barrel to serve as a small garden pond, fed by rainwater, the excess of which irrigates his garden, and aerated by solar energy stored in a solar panel attached to the house. Floating hydroponic plants serve as a landing pad for bees, butterflies, and dragonflies to rest and rehydrate, while a small band of koi, guppies, and goldfish provide self-sustaining natural mosquito control, and a bed of underwater hornwort works to clarify and oxygenate the water and help forestall algae-growth.

Cloud-Monger Urban Farm is committed to the Earth and to giving back to her by living in communion and reciprocity with the land, practicing principles of biodynamism and permaculture to create a biodiverse, stable and resilient ecosystem. The ducks and chickens protect the beehives by foraging around the base of the beehives for hive beetles and otherwise would-be intruders and pests. The bees pollinate the flowers; the flowers fertilised by coop waste, the fish pond fed by rainwater collection, the greenhouse irrigated by pondwater, all living in sustainable cycles of symbiosis.

In addition to harvesting herbs, roots, and vegetables for food, J.A. uses the garden's offerings to brew and bottle kombuchas and probiotics, harvest raw & unfiltered local honey, and to make natural cosmetics and herbal remedies.
