Cathe' Fish

Check out Old Time Scotch Collies. The original Lassies. Amazing homestead dogs. I first heard about them from a Countryside Magazine article claiming they were multi purpose dogs. So glad I read that article, as these dogs are very special.  

Thanks for showing us your list, Andrew.
Thankfully it has actual permaculture women on it, not just women that Paul  and the rest of us admire.

Robyn Francis is my vote.

I can’t wait to attend the Wise Traditions Conference this year. M Kat Andrews, author of Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of California’s Natural Resources, will be speaking on Sunday. I am so looking forward to hearing her as I love her book. Speaking next will be Anore Jones, who studied how the Inuit eat and how they traditionally preserved their food.

Shan Kendall and I are co-chapter leaders of the Gold Country chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation. As chapter leaders, we help people find locally-grown organic and biodynamic vegetables, fruits and grains; and milk products, butter, eggs, chicken and meat from pasture-fed animals. We also represent the Weston A Price Foundation at local fairs and conferences. Shan teaches cooking classes. Our chapter has monthly potluck dinners, tho’ in August every year we have a fun picnic in the park in Nevada City, CA. We also help people find health practitioners including MDs, DOs and dentists who share our philosophy of healing with food and herbs. At the 2011 convention, Shan and I were awarded 2011 Activist Awards. We were very surprised.

You can find a chapter near you here: http://www.westonaprice.org/local-chapters/find-local-chapter. Or you can start a chapter near you.

Check out the videos on the website: http://www.westonaprice.org/. You can take a beginner's tour too: http://www.westonaprice.org/about-the-foundation/beginner-tour

I have been a permaculture instructor, consultant and designer since 1987. When we put on Permaculture Design Courses, we serve the locally grown nutrient dense foods prepared by Shan Kendall from local farms using recipes from the cookbook Nourishing Traditions. We also discuss and show how to make fermented foods from the same cookbook as well as Bill Mollison’s The Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition http://www.powells.com/biblio/9780908228065 Sandor Katz’s Wild Fermentation is a good resource too.

If you are teaching PDCs, consider supplying coconut oil, raw butter or other quality saturated fats for your students to add to tea and coffee to keep their brains functioning at a high level, or serve Lemon Balm tea Melissa officinalis for alertness (unless someone is taking Thyroid medication)
