Our eco sustainable hideaway offers a serene retreat where you can reconnect with the earth and explore the harmony of our ongoing permaculture design, systems and technology development. Working with nature, instead of against it.
Today, modern industrial agriculture degrades and destroys top soils globally at an alarming rate, by going against the laws of nature. Destroying soils by killing all life in soil then adding artificial fertilisers and chemicals to grow plants at alarming diminishing returns. Top soil is the basis for ALL life on earth! Destroying soils for short term super-profits, risks global famine, food scarcity and insecurity leading to war and enslavement of people and nations. Beneficial only for banking, agri-monopolies and chemical industries, profiteering at the expense of people’s lives and their servitude.
Permaculture focuses on solutions instead of the problems. It goes beyond sustainability and into resilience. Working with natural systems to create productive eco systems that provide all the basic needs of humanity, delivering abundance as opposed to scarcity.
Permaculture is a design science that enables you to build a holistic productive food eco-system, aligned with nature, fully self-sustainable, that removes reliance on the most crippling modern agricultural inputs, such as pesticide, herbicide chemicals and artificial fertilisers.
Having completed the: Geoff Lawton - Permaculture Design Certification (PDC 2.0), has enabled steady development and experimentation across the site, marrying natural systems into productive organic commercial farm processes and technologies.
