Join us in February to experience farm living and learn hands on skills in permaculture on our abundant farm and home in Bali. It will be 5 days devoted to growing, making, reconnecting, community, health and setting some garden goalsfor the year ahead. Each day we'll enjoy a farm-to-table family stye feast, herbal teas and treats.

On the first day we will share our story; why we started a farm and our vision for the future. You'll gain an understanding of Permaculture and how we have been applying it on our 1.5 hectare farm in Bali over the past 4 years. We'll end the day with a seed raisingand seed saving workshop. The next day we'll spend our day talking about growing organic food. We will teach the essentials you need to know, to grow your own home garden and food forest. We will teach techniques that will be applicable for both the home gardener and for those of you looking to scale up into serious food production.

On Day 3 we'll lead a practicum on how to grow zero-waste mushrooms. We'll harvest & make some ferments, preserves, pickles and other fermented goodness. Before the end of the day we will teach you how to make some home natural products, with no chemicals and toxins for a healthy home.

We believe that it is essential to get out of our heads and create something tangible with our own two hands. On this day we will focus on working with nature and creating from scratch. Together with Balinese craftsmen and some locally harvested bamboo we will immerse in the art of weaving, to weave our very own bamboo baskets. The adventurous amongst us will move on to practice some basic bamboo carpentryand build a bamboo stool. The final day will be devoted to integrating all of the learning before returning home. We will set some personal sustainability goals and Orin and Maria will be available during this session for a one-on-one consult to help you implement all you've learnt into your everyday life.

We work with a wonderful team of Indonesian food growers, cooks, bamboo carpenters, coconut sugar makers, architects, craftsmen and designers. We're committed to giving you both practical skills for daily life from growing food to making home products as well as the time to reflect and consult with us on applying these skills back home.
