Fall-Winter 2018: Have you ever wished you could take a Permaculture Design Certificate course but couldn't break away from your farm or life?  Join Farmer Clare this winter through a small-group mentored distance course featuring all the content of an on-site course, and a LOT more time to reflect and digest and design!  The course content will be provided online and we'll meet periodically through videoconferencing.  The course will culminate in a weekend retreat July, 2019 at Elsewhere Farm as part of our annual Permaculture Open Space Weekend.  Course fees $1500 to $800 sliding scale.  Contact us!
