Here are a handful of pictures from this training…
This was one of our standard, full, PDC courses and included an emphasis on the growing of food.
We expect to continue to offer this winter training yearly which is well timed for those folks too busy during the growing season to attend a full PDC course. Keep an eye on our schedule for this and all other future trainings.

 Notice how the fire is burning sideways into the stove. |
 This stove still needs a finish coat of cob and the cushion to be complete. |

Hi Guys! Glad your winter course went well. Thanks for posting these photos! It was good to see you all again, and the bright faces of the students, as always.
~Larry
Great to hear from you Larry.
And glad you appreciate the posts. We have such a good time at these events that we are compelled to post at least some of the pictures that were taken. I can’t help but think that after awhile, all the pictures from course after course must become a blur for those following… you know… lots of A-frames, rocket stoves and such. But all the faces are new as is the experience for the students…so… we will keep posting new pictures.
Do you not have a new book coming out Larry? Keep us posted and we let our readers know about it. Your work in editing/publishing One-Straw Revolution by Masanabu Fukuoka is most inspiring.
Till Later…
Yes please keep posting the pictures! It is a bit of a trip down memory lane every time. Couldn’t help but feel a little Midwest Permaculture Homesick looking at this new class, two years ago I was sitting where they were and trying to absorb all that information. I remember it fondly. So glad you all are keepin’ it growing!
