Whole Farm Permaculture – Gateway Farm

Permaculture is all about how to design and practice the regeneration of sustainable living systems. This two-day workshop explores how to apply permaculture ideas, practices, principles, and ethics to regenerative farming. This can be applied to farm projects of any scale, from urban to broadacre. This workshop will be a combination of information, ideas, imagination, and practical exercises. There will be plenty of opportunities for participants to develop their own project design and planning – using the “Adapt”’ design game and other tools. The aim is for participants to leave the workshop both inspired and with a sound idea of what their best next steps will be.

This workshop could be for you if:

• You are ready to make conscious designs or redesigns that grant you more ease and joy on the farm.
• You want to expand your use of perennial plants and other proven practices that increase yields, improve biodiversity, and infuse your crops with nutrient density.
• You are craving a holistic perspective on your farm site, market garden, or homestead (or dreams of these spaces).
• You would like to participate in a supportive community for sharing knowledge and resources.
• You understand that all things are connected and are willing to acknowledge any potential areas for improvement including: social relationships, conservation, and relation to landscape.

 What to bring:

• Gloves, hats, sturdy shoes, water bottle, note pan and pens.
