Hey Permies!
I have almost an acre of land in Pakistan an hour's drive from the capital.
I plan to live there along with my family (me, my wife and 5 children! ) as well as make it a model permaculture farm, don't know if there already exists a full fledge farmstead designed from scratch upon permaculture principles.
I want to have permaculture workshops there and other life skill courses also!
I want to document it and also would love and definitely need the support and guidance from all permies!
Is this a good place to share the progress?
any other advice is welcome!
Regards,
Nosherwan

Welcome to Permies Nosherwan! This is the perfect place to post.

I’m excited to hear more about your permaculture farm as it evolves.

Hi Nosherwan. Great to hear of your plans. In permaculture nothing is standard, every situation is unique, but the fun thing is that you can tell us about what the problems are and then we'll help you along as best as we can. The people at Permies are a nice bunch.
If i think of Pakistan i think it's going to be dry, but i could totally be mistaken. That's why it starts a bit with you sending some pictures or describing your local situation and then we can together think of solutions that are more or less workable for you.

Hi, I spent over 30 years in India, in Ladakh which is a very different climate than yours. There are lots of people doing various forms of permaculture and natural building and living in India, many of them in your climate. Of course visiting each other is unlikely, but I hope you can connect with them online and get some ideas and tips. I'm sure there are many in Pakistan as well.

I look forward to seeing your posts about your project and progress.
