Almost no calves who are newly birthed survive without colostrum. Colostrum is the first milk/antibodies that mother cows offer to their calves. Colostrum is extremely important for humans too. Typically the intake of colostrum with calves from their mother cows is something you don’t have any part in or have to worry about. However, if […]
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.

Benefits in under 2 minutes There are many benefits to permaculture. It really is impossible to put all of the benefits of permaculture in any video that could encompass everything. So making a video that is under 1.5 minutes that speaks of some big benefits was very difficult. But we were up for the task. […]
VIDEO EXPLAINING PERMACULTURE IN UNDER 60 SECONDS Permaculture is notoriously hard to explain. Ask any permaculturist what permaculture is and he or she will have a hard time telling you in a short amount of time. That is because permaculture is big – it is education system, eco-system restoration, drought proofing, climate balancing, people system, […]
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 […]
