permaculture all about

the folks i stayed with in tallahasse, florida, who gave me the initial suggestion to visit tinder hearth bakery, are doing permaculture work as edible landscapes. i like what is said on their site under 'mission'. their presence and activity is a confirmation of the shift i believe is happening around the world.

permaculture is a very important component in this shift. many of the places i visit are applying permaculture design in their communities. the book that was the seed inspiration for this trip, 'growing up in occupied america', refers to the food ways of an indigenous people as 'their permaculture'. permaculture, i recently became aware, was informed in it's inception by observations of the ways of indigenous peoples throughout the world.
in searching for information on this topic i found this informative article. not exactly what i was looking for, but worth a look.

another place i just found out about is near to where i stayed at North Branch Farm. it is called newforest institute. i would not have known about it if i had not taken a moment to admire the poster on the door of the room i stayed in while at the farm. this radical place is just down the road!

in this extensive interview with Possibility Alliance founder Ethan Hughes, he mentions how they offer the first by-donation permaculture certification in the world.
