Agro-Ecosystems Series: A Permaculture Practicum for Farm & Homestead Resiliency

Earthworks – Agroforestry – Mushroom Farming

September 24-29, 2019

Registration Page

Join us this fall for our 5th Annual Agro-Ecosystems Series.    This series is a conscious effort to provide on-the-ground training in regenerative land management and cultural repair for permaculture practitioners.

An agroecosystem is a dynamic association of crops, pastures, livestock, other flora and fauna, soils, water, and the atmosphere. It is agriculture functioning as an ecosystem in and of itself, but also with the surrounding environment.  In this training, you will develop your skills and gain hands-on experience as you build a small scale regenerative farming system.  You will help design and implement an integrated agro-ecosystem. This system is designed to supply the homestead with fuelwood, animal fodder, food, craft material, and more.  It will include design/implementation of earthworks, soil testing and building, design and layout of multiple agroforestry systems integrated with animals and a mushroom farming course.  You will be directly involved in the hands-on implementation of this system.

These courses can be taken individually, as a complete set or with mix and match savings.  The more classes you take, the more you save.  For descriptions of each class in the series, click the name of the class below.
