The Holistic Homestead Course is now available to everyone on Skool. Dive into over 100 hours of in-depth homesteading and permaculture design content. This course was previously priced at $1500. Why am I offering this for FREE? Because we’re running out of time. We need as many people as possible to prepare for what’s coming. Some people will take advantage, and some will not — but what's most important is to learn as many skills as possible. It’s not gold or silver that got Grandma through tough times during the Great Depression; it was basic skills long forgotten. It only took two generations to lose this vital knowledge.

Continuing on from my previous post on strawbale construction. The next stage is adding the lime render. Three coats will be needed in all, with damp hessian to cover and slow down the drying time between coats. This small area took six novices four hours to complete, and we were handsomely rewarded with a feast of fresh produce from the growing beds for our hard work. An ideal day of community building.

Hey friends, Let’s have a real talk. Permaculture is powerful. It gives us tools, patterns, principles—ways of seeing the world that are often mind-blowing. But let’s not pretend it’s some kind of perfect, all-knowing religion. It’s not. Permaculture isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula. It’s not “the answer” to every problem. And if we treat it like dogma, we miss the entire point. Permaculture is a lens. A framework. A starting point. What it really offers is a personal path—a way to reconnect with the land, with each other, and with ourselves. It’s less about doing things by the book and more about deepening your relationship with this living world. The truth? You don’t need a guru. You don’t need to get it “right.” You need to pay attention. Observe. Listen. Respond with care. Permaculture gives you a map. But you still have to walk the path. And each of our paths will look different—because they should. Your land, your story, your community, your intuition... these are the things that matter most. So here’s my invitation: ✨ Don’t just do permaculture. Live it. ✨ Let it grow through your hands and your heart. ✨ And don’t be afraid to question, adapt, evolve. Let’s keep this space real, open, and alive. What’s your relationship with permaculture right now? Has it ever felt too rigid? Or maybe, just the opposite—liberating? Share below 👇

I just joined this community. I have a lot to learn about permaculture and regenerative agriculture.

Today..., I asked the individuals who are cutting the tree line for electric company for some woodchips. They asked where I lived and pointed to the adjoining property from where we were standing. They stated they would ask their supervisor, but they both looked at one another with a look like "why not." Let's see if we get some!!!
