Winter Permaculture Design Certification (PDC) Course - Focusing on Small Scale Growing and Farming

Successfully growing and selling wholesome food while also taking care of the land is a challenge for most people who undertake small farming operations. Relatively few have done so successfully without burning out.

When permaculture design is applied to a food growing or farming operation, wastes become resources, work is minimized, yields increase and the land is restored. The farmer, her neighbors and his community benefit as well.
