He has been consulting and teaching as a Permaculture Designer since 2018. \n\n\n\nAlong the way\, he learned from numerous Permaculture teachers\, tended land with minimal inputs\, worked with around 70 clients on their land\, lived off-grid for a decade\, and made (… and still makes!) a whole lot of humbling and valuable mistakes on his way back to life in harmony with the earth.  \n\n\n\nMatt is also an herbalist (…in training\, like all herbalists..!) and has been putting strong-tasting plants in bottles to make helpful things happen since 2007.  He prepares dozens of local herbal medicines for his community every year.   \n\n\n\nWith all that experience\, Matt is ever a beginner and student of the land. Nature is infinite. What can we do but listen and try? \n\n\n\nMatt is honored to be a Permaculture guide to anyone interested in coming a little closer to the earth. Becoming a father in 2023 has made passing down these teachings that always consider future generations more important than ever. \n\n\n\nRead the rest of Matt’s bio here.
