Permaculture is a design science, whose aim is to create permanence on the landscape. A permanent system is one which produces more energy than it consumes, and enough energy to sustain and renew itself over its lifetime.
Permaculture is especially useful when it comes to the designing and creating a Master Plan for your land. This plan can enable us to make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
“The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”
― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We will proceed with the understanding there is intelligence in Nature’s design. We can learn from it. And by being good stewards of the land and caring for Nature, rather than seeking to dominate or subdue it, farming can become a natural activity and our lives can become more pleasant.
Seed Saving
It is our job to:
- Find better ways to grow food and flowers organically
- Train the next generation of students, organic farmers and gardeners
- Install an adaptive mentality, so growers can respond to everything from climate change to available resources
- Educate consumers to better understand their impact on food production and distribution
