What is Permaculture?
Permanence + Agriculture
It is the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be self-sufficient and sustainable.
Ecological Preservation
Permaculture preserves and protects the natural systems around us. It is a system that works in synchronicity with nature.
Abundance
Permaculture systems are the most abundant and efficient for food production. Taking advantage of multiple layers to produce food. This requires less maintenance and inputs than other food producing systems.
Symbiosis with animals and insects
Animals can be a valuable part of your permaculture system. They can fertilize, eat food scraps, turn soil, and be a food source for you. Insects can provide pest control and most importantly, pollination!
Designed Systems
Permaculture is an abundant and self sufficient system when designed and implemented correctly. This is why we design and install food producing systems for generations to come. All the while reducing stress on the environment.
Waste Reduction
Permaculture utilizes common waste materials as a resource to build fertility. Food waste composts into fertile soil for your plants to thrive in. Paper waste and dead leaves are used as a mulch and weed barrier. Animal waste can be used as a nitrogen rich fertilizer for your system.
Water Wise
Permaculture takes into account the way water moves through your property. It captures excess water for times of drought, in either swales or water catchment systems such as rain barrels. This reduces your overall water needs from public or private sources. Rain gardens are also beneficial for growing specific food crops that require more moisture.
