Two Weeks of Hands-On Permaculture and Organic Farm Life...
The site for our course is Four Elements Farm, a Natural Building Learning
Center and organic farm nestled in the steep chaparral hills of California's
central coast. The farm is also home to 4 Elements Foods and Elemental
Herbs. We return for our third year to Four Elements Farm to live the rhythm
of farm life and experience hands-on permaculture.

The Mediterranean microclimate allows a wide selection of fruits and
vegetables to grow on its 47 acres. Hands-on opportunities on the organic
farm and garden abound throughout the course: chickens, beekeeping,
composting, fruit tree management, harvesting, planting and more. Learn
first hand about earthen and straw bale building, natural clay plastering,
biodiesel brewing and organic farming.

INSTRUCTORS
Larry Santoyo, Director, EarthFlow Design Works will be joined by Scott Pittman, Director of The Permaculture Institute and Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture. Local experts to be announced.

MORE DETAILS
Halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo is America's
coastal heartland, where agriculture and ranching are still important parts

unspoiled beaches... Optional field trips, beaches, farmers markets and Big
Sur Excursion.

Permaculture is a world-wide movement...
Permaculture Design is protocols for decision making and problem solving- based on the patterns of nature.

Our permaculture courses go way beyond gardening...
You don't actually DO permaculture but instead, you USE permaculture in what you do. You arrive at decisions, using systems thinking and permaculture protocols, and you can use it for anything- yourself, your family, your job, your community -and yes, you can even use it in the ever popular- art of gardening and natural building...

    * reading the patterns of the landscape
    * sustainable garden design
    * natural building
    * economics of sharing and caring
    * creating community

In our City Permaculture Course, students are encouraged to volunteer with a community organization- and as part of the course requirements and indepth learning experience, students learn the art and science of green living- and work in teams to design and present a community project- all kinds of programs have been created- even business plans and economic development projects...

And if you just gotta get out of the city...
Four Elements Organic Farm, in San Luis Obispo County, is hosting our two-week Permaculture Design Course intensive- camping, farming, green living and more...
