Biography
We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

Homesteads might be the fundamental unit of permaculture though how many of these are self sufficient?  And back in 2009 when this was written were there more or less than there are today?

Can someone with i acre actually be self sufficient?

That grant with Pepsi was in 2011 so I doubt that is still available though it would be great to get $25,000 to go towards building a community centre/studio to serve as an education facility for off-grid living and as well as offer a learning opportunity for volunteers to learn how to construct off-grid dwellings.

In today's market, I am not sure how far $25,000 would go.  It cost $30,000 just to cover the interior of my house.

It would be great to find out if someone donated some land and if this project got finalized.

This might have something to do with which variety of lettuce you are growing.
