Permaculture Homestead
|
We are novice permaculture homesteaders learning as we go on our quarter-acre lot in Eureka, California. Since August 2017, we've been working on building our soil and bringing life to the land. We've planted medicinal flowers and fruit trees, healing herbs, and all kinds of berries. We've built polyculture raised beds, herb spirals, and hugelkultur beds. We've set up rain barrels, worm bins, and greywater systems. And we've launched our cottage food business, making pecan cardamom granola and artisanal mustards - classic yellow, spicy brown, lavender turmeric, and rosemary thyme - in our home kitchen. Upcoming projects include expanding our product line, helping to invigorate a local barter economy, front lawn conversion, and introducing ducks, chickens, and goats to our homestead (so long as our dogs, Moxey and Okja, and cats, Gillian and Toto, will allow).
We believe that permaculture, both in theory and in practice, offers a radical and beautiful pathway forward, toward a collaborative and connective life-world in which all beings, human and more-than-human, can flourish. We invite you to join in on our journey, to read about our ideas and projects, to learn from our mistakes (we make plenty of them!), and to share in our bounty. <3 |
