The examples cover food production, carbon sequestration and strengthening local economies.

Let us know if you are coming. Thanks! Description: Come
join us for an introduction to permaculture and our
community lifestyle! Take a fun and informative tour of our
land with Tracy, including our organic gardens, alternative
building methods, off grid solar system, animals and
orchards. Learn some basics of
permaculture concepts and how we apply them in action.
We are a committed group of people working together closely in community, on our 24 acres organic permaculture farm. We integrate the social aspects of sustainability into daily life: how to live together with honesty, love and peace, and share power and leadership. We do not have one central leader, but instead share the cost of the land and the leadership equally. This is a great time to tour the land and ask questions about community.
