Testimonials

Thank you for the event today at Spiral Ridge. I met some great people and got some helpful information. Your homestead was inspiring. It’s good to meet people like me who are not satisfied with the broken system we’ve inherited.

For anyone thinking about going to a course at Spiral Ridge, DO IT! I just took my PDC there and it was by far the experience and education of a lifetime. Cliff, Jenn, and the rest of the crew are the salt of the earth and true practitioners of all angles of this craft. Trust me…. DO IT… you will not regret it…

Matt FleenerSinger/Songwriter & Homesteader

Each weekend I came prepared with questions for Cliff. Through ongoing dialog, workshops and classes, this course helped me paint a clearer picture of what is possible. I plan to apply these design principles to our future land and create a sustainable homestead. Got a question about agriculture? Ask Cliffapedia.

I like that the course (was) by people who are actually doing it, rather than being completely academic. It’s clear that the instructors have spent significant time with the material, both in study and practice.

Thanks for coming all the way to Mississippi this weekend for the Food Summit and Sustainable Living Conference – you were a huge hit…

Daniel J. DoyleDirectorMississippi Sustainable Agriculture Network

After meeting Cliff you realize that some people write books then retire and some people live their lives. I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy his knowledge and company. Jen is super good in her format of information teaching. Cliff’s passion is easily understood in a learning format. And there is never “ego” involved on this farm and it’s courses. It really was an amazing two weeks and I love your family.

I came to Tennessee to see what they were about after Dave Jacke (author of Edible Forest Gardens) recommended them, to me, last year. Being a firm believer that one can always gain new knowledge, and being a permaculture teacher and trainer myself in other countries, I wanted to see how other people who practice permaculture and other alternative methods teach and live. I was not disappointed.

I loved this course and enjoyed spending time with so many people who’s experience and interests overlap in the arena of permaculture. I learned a lot from each of the instructors and from other folks in the class.
