"What a fantastic, well planned, and detailed educational farm. Enjoyed the self tour, walking the property and explanation boards. Your crystal clear pond was so pretty- saw our first lilly pad!!! Thanks for having us!”

"This was such a wonderful experience. I can’t imagine a better use of my time and money. I’m leaving with clear ideas of how to implement permaculture into my life and inspired to do so.”

“Wrapping up our first day of class, I’m walking back to my cabin humbled and honored to be amongst likeminded folks, on what feels like almost sacred land. Even the introduction to the tree the farm was named after felt intimate and privileged. I’m amazed at the sense of camaraderie felt with everyone here after just one day, and I’m even more convinced there is NO culture like permaculture!”
Ashlee PDC Course Student
“We picked up herb plant starters for extremely reasonable price all while surrounded by what felt like the Garden of Eden.”

“My child learned so much at the Summer Solstice event for kids. She could not stop talking about it afterwards and enjoyed making new friends.”
