I’ve had a number of folks ask me to design in a firing range on their farm. Good idea for practice and especially if you have excess material you need to find something to do with. In the past, I’ve always just chosen what I considered a good location. I could not say I was […]
I’m all for the “know your farmer” family farm model. It is exploding across the country right now. Especially in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I like it better than the GMO model of growing food for people for sure. The family farm model has many benefits when it comes to knowing what is in […]
We love hearing testimonies and getting updates from our students. From those who plant their first gardens to those who completely rock the homesteading. And this couple did just that. In 2016 they took our in-person PDC course and used their property (10 acres), which they purchased a few years prior, to design their final […]
Here we’re sharing a cool resource from our colleagues at Wild Abundance. They run a school for permaculture, homesteading, and natural building in the southern Appalachian mountains, near Asheville, NC. Based on nearly 2 decades of experience living with the land and applying permaculture principles to a variety of sites and situations, they created this for […]

We are at it again. Just wrapped up this springs PERMACULTURE GARDENING class. It was stellar! One of our students is truly living the dream. They sold everything and bought some land, watched youtube videos, and built their house out of shipping containers!. These guys are rock stars! Our gardening class installed a 100×40′ infinity […]
In this video I consult for Nicholas and his family about moving forward and taking the next steps to getting his hands in the dirt and moving forward with starting to enjoy life, not over think, and growing their own resources. If you have questions about permaculture consulting and or design, contact me through our […]
Check out the video below. I got tired of people wanting to do something better with their landscape and not being able to because they did not know where to being or how to source what they needed. So on our facebook page, on facebook live last Friday I did a free landscape assessment for a […]
Sometimes, actually a lot of times, we get to hang out with, be moved, and get inspired by truly amazing people. The Wallis’s are just that. I do not need to say much more, just watch. Read more about the happenings at the Wallis homestead on Christina’s blog
Man, I love starting a fresh round of classes. The energy that comes from a fresh crop of students is awesome. Can’t say enough good things about it or the permaculture design course. This week I am in all sorts of sitches. -Check out my suburban site from the roof view -My city must hate […]
