PERMACULTURE OFFERS POSITIVE SOLUTIONSTO A PLANET IN CRISIS

Permaculture is a design science that brings together nature, earth sciences and human intelligence to develop positive solutions to create healthy and sustainable environments and build resiliant communities. Permaculture has accumulated over 35 years of experimentation and application around the world, urban and rural, in all climates and with diverse cultures.

  PERMACULTURE DESIGN CERTIFICATE COURSE

The Permaculture Design Certificate Course is an internationally-recognized 72 hour course resulting in a Permaculture Design Certificate. The course includes the application of permaculture principles to food production, home design/ construction, energy conservation/generation, and explores alternative economic structures and legal strategies supporting permaculture solutions. Credit for this course is now accepted by a growing number of universities around the world.

Certification from this course empowers you to develop a professional permaculture design, consultation and instruction business. As graduate, you will find yourself a member of an exceptional international community of permaculturists. If you desire, you can work in much needed AID somewhere in the world. As a graduate, you will  also be eligible to attend the next stimulating International Permaculture Conference and Convergence in 2013 in Cuba and create a network of permaculture practioner friends from around the world.

LEARN TO USE NATURE AS YOUR PATTERN FOR FOOD PRODUCTION, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITY

Permaculture provides a framework for consciously designed landscapes that mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature. These systems yield an abundance of shelter, water, energy, and food for the provision of local needs that provide diversity, stability, and resilience for local populations.

Cliff Jepsen grew up on a working farm and became disenchanted watching farming turn to monocrops and industrial confined animal factories. He became a Master Gardener in 2003. His enthusiasm for agriculture  returned  when he earned his Permaculture Design certificate that year. He oversaw the Children's Garden Program in Trinity County for 3 years. He and his wife Nora Heiber purchased Allsgood farm in January 2011, and have dedicated  the beautiful farm to permaculture stewardship.

Also assisting at the course will be a team of passionate and knowledgeable instructors.

  COURSE FEES

We know that many people who care for the Earth would like to take this class. Considering the economic downturn, we are lowering the price of the course.

In 2009,  this Permaculture Design Course class was $1450.

In Fall 2011, we reduced the course fee to $1350. This is a bargain for a  design course of this caliber.

Because we want as many local people as possible to take this course, we have lowered the price THIS TIME ONLY to $1050. How are we doing this? We are holding the course only on the weekend to help people who work during the week. We are not serving meals. You must bring your own lunch and snacks.

Camping is available. Contact Cliff Jepsen at Allsgood Farm 530-356-5436
