Description.

In times of way too much internet and not enough soil, we choose to respect your attention. Learn what this means to us.

We don't use AI in our Permaculture Designs. Wondering why? Watch our video on Permaculture and AI.

Permaculture is deeply indebted to the rooted generational wisdom of the indigenous peoples of the lands where we work, live, and heal. We grow gratefully in the shade of the seed breeders, the land tenders, the song and story keepers, and all those who knew how to be harmony to the great music of earth.

We remember that great areas of the land we tend were already tended with work and wisdom for thousands of years. The presence of the wild food and medicine plants we benefit from were encouraged by the practices and presence of the ancestral peoples of these lands.

If you are inspired to support our local indigenous peoples, please consider giving to the Occaneechi Saponi, the Haliwa Saponi, the Tutelo Saponi, the Cherokee, the Lumbee, and the other indigenous wisdom keepers of this land that feeds and shelters us.
