This Advanced Permaculture Certificate Course will deepen your understanding of the diverse field of Permaculture. We immerse you in the theory and application of Regenerative Earthworks and Passive Water Harvesting and Management.

In this hands-on course, we explore the interconnection between soil, watersheds, climate and seasonality, agriculture, agro-forestry, and permaculture design as it pertains to earthworks. We learn to link these concepts into a comprehensive regenerative strategy for the development of a permaculture site and apply this knowledge in the development of an earthworks plan for the Blue Paradise Farms Permaculture site, of which we will lay out key portions and begin construction of on-site structures such as swales and a pool, working with hand tools up to large machines.

Course Date: December 7th - 12th, 2015.

Hi Angela,

Thanks for getting in touch.

I now have a caretaker. We had our first Permaculture Design Course in March and I'm now looking for volunteers and collaborators who would like to help me generate income to develop the site.

Interested readers are welcome to contact me.

Blue Paradise Farms in Friendship District, Westmoreland, Jamaica is a start-up eco-resort-cum-training site.

The plan is to create a Permaculture demonstration residential smallholding - a tranquil environment, where teachers or facilitators can hold courses or events. Guests will be able to visit to relax, perhaps leaving behind the worries and cares of a fast-paced modern life. Guests could even use Blue Paradise Farms as a base from which to explore the beautiful island of Jamaica - a home away from home.

To kick off development of the site, we are running our first ever Full & Certified Permaculture Design Course! This course, led by International Permaculture Teacher Peter Cow, will start the transformation of 15 acres of a former sugarcane plantation into a Permaculture resort-cum-training site. It promises to be a fun-filled yet educational experience.

In addition to the full 72 hour PDC course:

We have our own professional Jamaican chef, Chef Kevin who caters for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters

Apart from being a Permaculture tutor, Peter Cow is also a musician and will share his music with us.

We have a field trip to an idyllic eco-resort which has an organic farm, river, off-grid energy etc. etc.

There will also be a talent show

Please share this post with your friends and support Blue Paradise Farms as we strive to create a haven where persons of goodwill are welcome, create real opportunities for Jamaicans and share Permaculture knowledge.

Please come along to learn, to enjoy and to assist this very exciting and worthy project.


Thanks for your support.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for responding.

Kicking off with a full PDC course in March (all being well), which of course the caretaker could attend for free. Would be ideal to have someone suitable in place before then.

If you are interested, the thing to do would be to send me your contact details via Permies.com's Purple Mooseages.

Hi Atarah,

Thanks for your interest. The sort of courses I have in mind are:

Permaculture

Natural House Building

Forest Gardening

Alternative Energies

Beekeeping

Let me know your thoughts and whether there are any particular courses you have in mind.

I welcome suggestions from all interested parties and queries and offers of collaboration from interested tutors.

Please get in touch with your contact details.

I am UK-based and likely to remain so for some time. I am looking for a flexible and creative residential gardener/caretaker for a start-up permaculture farm resort in Jamaica.

This is not a salaried position. The plan is for us to collaborate, gradually developing the site, creating income opportunities and sharing the profit from income your activities generate.

I hope to host courses on the property from time to time which you may attend for free (subject to tutor consent).

Please get in touch if you think you are suitable and would be happy in this role.
