About
Let's just get right into what in the world exactly are we trying to do here. In 1988 a book was published titled "Permaculture - a designer's manual" and towards the end of chapter 12 it talks about species of plants that can stop the spread of fire. Plants like comfrey, figs and mulberry have multiple uses in permaculture systems and can be propagated very fast from clone cuttings. And since this area is very prone to fire, we here wish to set up a nursery to sell these plants... That's the simple version.
But a permaculture project is never simple. In order for these plants to grow rapidly and multiply we need to grow good+fluffy+fertile+wet soil on land that is mostly clay and rocks that turns to dust in the summer drought. How? Well, there's no simple version for the answer to that question. Permaculture? Absolutely, yes! And if that's what you want to involve yourself with (to learn, do, experience and to teach) then come and get it!! We offer free PDCs every now and then ;)

Our project spans two lands a half-hour walk from each other
On the bigger plot (~1.3ha) is an old little house with 5 bedrooms and a 4mx3mx1.2m pool. We have plenty of fruit and nut trees you can pick from (Orange, Mandarin, Persimmon, Guava, Peach, Apple, Fig, Lemon, Cherries, Kiwis, Walnut, Chestnut,Pear, Grape, Strawberry tree). We make our own sour dough once a week. You could stay in one of the rooms, or there is plenty of space to put a hammock, tent or park a campervan.
The smaller one (~0.4 ha) is where we establish the food forest/nursury/veggie garden. It is off-grid, solar powered and under construction. It's more secluded but also closer to town (half an hour walk).
We are looking for people who would like to join us in our attempt to outgrow the current system and we are not very picky. Our permaculture project is situated in an ideal place for rapid growth and expansion, where we aim to create a synergy between economy and ecology, ensuring both can thrive simultaneously. We are especially looking for people that want to make a business for themselves here. Selling to the market requires no paperwork at all, no tax!
If you're not afraid of entering a project in its initial chaotic phase, if you want to see how we make weekly plans and divide up the work, if you want to be a part of growing a new synergy of plants, animals and humans then come and get in contact with us. We are happy to answer any of your questions.
