Covid-19: All of our Summer Trainings are Canceled!
Ugh... With the virus still moving through our country, we don't see how we can provide our on-site trainings with any guarantee of zero infection to
you, our students, or to our own community and staff. So, we are going to use the next few months to work on our own local projects and will be sharing some of this on our blog, Instagram or Facebook.

But Our Fall PDC at Fern Hollow Farm is Still Open
And We Look Forward to A Full 2021 Schedule
If we end up canceling the fall training, all who have registered may choose to either receive a full refund (less the price of the webinars [$195]) or just forward their registration toward any PDC or Advanced Training during the next three years.

Floods, Droughts, Storms and Pandemics Are Likely on the Rise.
We Can Be Part of the Solution.
The PDC Course lays out tools, paths and skills we as humans can use to work with nature to minimize global disruptions while also improving the health of all life on this planet. This training is about being the change that brings us toward real and lasting solutions!

Example of a
Permaculture Design
Midwest Permaculture

"Permaculture looks at life squarely in the face and simply asks the questions;
What is?
How do things really work?
There are no sacred cows. Permaculture explores multiple ways that we as humans can create real abundance, security and health for ourselves and the natural world... while similtaneously leaving the planet in much better condition because we were here.
It is honest.
It is realistic.
It is powerful."
