how did you find out about permies.com?

I read an article about the SKIP program in Mother Earth News Magazine last spring.

Someone announced it at a meeting I was at, don’t remember where, but a big crowd of people, over 15 years ago.  I now post the link now and then in our farm newsletter which goes out to over 400 people worldwide.  All to get the word out and reach more people to save the planet!

For me, I honestly don’t remember, it was loong time ago…

It would be interesting to know how people hear about us these days.

How did you find us? 

I found Permies by doing something I thought I'd never do.  I asked A.I. for an active, friendly Off-grid and Homesteading forum.  The first one I tried wasn't friendly at all.  I was attacked in my Introduction post and followed for two days after that, being harassed.  I left.

I checked out some of the other websites but they weren't active at all.  After going down the list, I finally checked out Permies and haven't looked back.  This site is most of what I was hoping to find in a forum and I'm grateful.  That's why I'm responding to this 15 year old post!

I've been in and out of the online world over the years. I do like searching topics and finding threads to sponge up any info I can. Recently this round of wanting to find like minded people lead me here and I made an account right away. I knew people were into smart practices about working along side nature. Having this well established online community of sharing information gives me some hope. I'm still sitting on a collection of seeds for my climate and no current farming buddies yet. The past few years, veggies from the grocery store go bad right away (or rather they were never really good to begin with). I do grow my tiny container garden just to learn and do. I think having in ground perennial plants are the way to be though. Where they can seed themselves and even spread. The forums brought me here and are the reason I signed up.
~~~~~~Thank you to all who have kept this online spot up and running!~~~~~~~~
And the bonus of freedom of keyboard and html and such, really fun and cool!
