   Permaculture sounds like the consept.   
      
   I tried to look up Full Circle for yo but there are   
   so many businesses/farms that use the name, I could   
   not find a reference   
      
   Basically is the way you treat the land and rotate   
   animals through it.  You are basically growing grass.   
      
   1) grow grass and rest the rest for a year   
   2) cowes eat the grass and poop   
   3) sheep/goats finish off the grass and poop   
   4) turkeys eat the bugs/paracites in the poop and don't   
       catch the parasites that chickens do and they poop   
   5) run chickens after the turkeys do their thing and poop   
   6) ducks are in there somewhere, but I forgot where and poop   
   7) plow the poop under and grow vegitables   
   8) grow grass and rest the land for a years, which completes   
       the full circle   
      
      
   The idea is to a lot of plots in different stages.   
   And to realize that the plants depend on the animals   
   and the animals depend on the plants.
