Decentralized permaculture model
Are you like the majority of American homeowners who have a small to medium yard that you are forced to mow, weed, and landscape to keep things under control? Are you sick of having deadly chemicals sprayed on your green living space, only to become a place of toxicity that can wreak havoc on the health of your loved ones, pets, and the surrounding environment?
What if I told you there is another way to maintain your green living spaces as a holistic, highly productive source of clean food and medicine for your family, with little to no weekly input?
“A food forest is, as the name implies, a forest of food. The goal of this gardening and land management system is to mimic a woodland ecosystem with companion planting of edible trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals grown in a succession of layers. Fruit and nut trees are usually the canopy/overstory, while below is the understory of berry shrubs and edible ground plantings. Beneficial plants, or “companions,” are included to attract insects for natural pest management, as soil amenders providing nitrogen and mulch, or for other benefits. Working together, the plants form a forest garden ecosystem that functions long-term to increase water retention and infiltration, protect the soils from heavy rainfall events, establish windbreaks, increase soil fertility, expand wildlife habitat, and provide food, building and craft materials, medicines, and more.” ~ Permaculture Research Institute
Permaculture food forests can be aesthetically pleasing as well as productive sources of clean, organic food and medicine, and are scalable from the urban rooftop or suburban back yard, up to hundreds of acres of land to homestead. Combining edibles into your home landscape is a great way to increase biodiversity and overall resilience to your property, not to mention the increased value. Using the concepts of permaculture we are able to mitigate large storm events that would typically decimate our current monocropping method of agriculture. We can integrate animals such as chickens and ducks, grazing animals such as goats and sheep or even cattle and horses. All animals have a specific role to play that will naturally boost the resilience of your land, and be a safe haven for the community, wildlife and your family.
We can help you decide the “What’s, Where’s and Why’s” of planting and garden development. We are a collective of permaculture experts from across the globe, internationally certified with years of combined experience.
Even if you move from the site one day you can feel proud that you are leaving it in better condition for the next residents, and the community in general will reap many benefits from your commitment to abundant health and vitality for all!

Here are some examples of extreme productivity on very little land:
- Growing Power – On a 2-acre urban lot in Milwaukee, Will Allen grows over a million pounds of food every year.
- The Urban Homestead – A family of four produces all their own food and $60,000 a year on just a fifth of an acre.
- Singing Frogs Farm – Just 3 harvested acres on this farm bring in over $100,000 an acre, using low water methods that sequester carbon and generate topsoil.
- Path to Freedom - The Dervaes family of Path to Freedom in the favorable Pasadena climate, while using an abunadance of water, are able to grow over 7,000 pounds of food on 1/10th of an acre.
- Limestone Permaculture Farm - Limestone Permaculture Farm in New South Wales, Australia. The 1 acre property has been developed into a productive permaculture farm that is currently helping to feed around 50 families.
