      Praise For Chew On This!

      "I first heard about Polar Permaculture in a report on icepeople.net. I was immediately fascinated by this project. Ben spent years chasing his dream on the edge of the world. Although Polar Permaculture didn’t eventually come to fruition due to bad luck, Ben had learned a lot along the way and shared it with us in this book."

      - Chun at 78°N@satofishi

      "Benjamin Vidmar is one of the greatest minds among American expats. Few have dared to jump into the unknown as he has. If you are in need of motivation and inspiration on your entrepreneurial journey, or if you need a dose of focus in your life, then this book is for you."

      - John Alan Reese, creator of the popular podcast The Comin' Home Podcast With John Alan, radio program creator and producer, writer, coach

      "I guess this is the book that I should have read a more than 20 years ago! I suppose it is never too late, so I'll see where it takes me from here!"

      - Rolf Stange

      Author of Spitsbergen-Svalbard, which over more than 15 years has developed into a widely used standard guidebook, and numerous other books on Svalbard, Bear Island, Jan Mayen and Greenland

      www.spitsbergen-svalbard.com

      "When I first heard about Polar Permaculture I was amazed. Growing food inside the Arctic Circle sounded like the hardest thing ever to do. And yet, undaunted, Benjamin went ahead and did just that! In his book you'll get to learn the secrets of what drove him to succeed and how you can do the same for yourself. Setting up my own business was the best thing I ever did. If I'd had a copy of this book back then I imagine it would've helped me no end. Best wishes,"

      -Aranya Austin, Permaculture teacher, designer and author

      My name is Thomas-and I have both worked and travelled in the Arctic for 25 years. First in Greenland where I worked,and then as a visitor on Svalbard in March 2004.

      After reading Benjamin Vidmar's book-I was both deeply touched and also inspired by his commitment and enthusiasm to his vision and project to Polar Permaculture on Svalbard. It is this commitment that also made his own Country put a man on the Moon.

      I know how harsh and difficult the life in The Arctic is-so I can only say that I deeply respect Benjamin for his work up there-but sadly some people did their best to make his dream not come true..

      I hope that this book will maybe inspire others to make their own vision come true.

      I have worked in the food and beverage business for over 40 years.  Having had the privilege of working

      with many bright and ambitious culinarians throughout this career, Benjamin Vidmar to this day remains

      one of a kind.  I have never worked with anyone as driven and ambitious as Ben. From the first day I met

      him, I could tell this man was different.  His passion for food, the industry, and his constant growth as

      professional and person was unlike anyone I have ever met before. Like a thirst that could not be

      quenched coupled with a free spirit that was going to go and conquer wherever the wind would take

      him.   

       When you read his book, you can sense his rapid-fire relentless thought process and his nonstop

      commitment to being the best at what
