If you've been curious about permaculture but weren't sure where to start, this is your invitation.
Our next online course begins October 13, and I'd love to have you join us.
We'll explore practical ways to work with nature, grow healthier food, build resilient and regenerative systems, and truly understand your land — whether you have a backyard, a farm, or just a dream of living more connected to the natural world.
I hope you'll join us.
Registration is open now.

Some of you may have seen social media posts announcing our move to North Carolina, but if not, here is the announcement!

We have moved to a 3 acre lot in the Asheville area of Western North Carolina. This has taken me back to my roots (my dad’s family is from Appalachia), and to all of the pleasurable moments during most of my adult life spent living in the foothills of some mountain range or another.

Hi everyone!

Our Online Permaculture Design Course is now open for early bird enrollment! (course starts Oct 13)

This is for people who want their land to become more stable and fruitful each year. For people who want to grow food in a way that builds soil instead of depleting it. For people who care about community and resilience and doing things thoughtfully.

You’ll design your own site as you move through the course. You’ll learn
how water, trees, soil, animals, and people can function together
instead of competing for your time and energy.

And you’ll be part of a group of students who are building something
meaningful where they live.

Early bird pricing is available now. (This is the best price you'll see all year)

• Most students spend between 72 and 100+ hours in total. At a slower pace, that’s about 2½ hours per week for a year. Fast learners who study 8 hours a week can complete it in about 10 weeks.

Problem: chickens laying too many eggs! Solution: simple preservation method. One ounce pickling lime to one quart water. Keeps eggs fresh for months! The rest will be scrambled and frozen, or pickled. Or eaten!

Bare soil? Nature sends weeds.
Low fertility? Here come nitrogen-fixers.
Gaps in the canopy? Expect pioneer trees.
It’s not random — it’s repair. We can either fight it or design with it.
