This is my first post here

My family & I live in Eastern WA and I travel frequently to Eastern MT where my family has homesteaded and been small/rural town living for more than a century. I'm interested in all things permaculture!

I do a lot of work with Paradise Permaculture Institute and they have a Mark Shepard (author of Restoration Agriculture and Water for Any Farm) event
Restoration Agriculture: Moving Water on the Land
September 6-8th, 2024, in Livingston, Montana.

It's a 3-Day workshop!

Any Mark Shepard fans or permaculturists in Montana interested in the event?

Hi Summer, Welcome to Permies. We'd love to see the progress of this project. Is the site farmed land currently?

Welcome to the forum.

This sounds like a great event. I hope you will share what you learned from the event.

Thanks, Nancy, For sure!

They started with 5+ acres of overgrazed pasture in 2013. As of today, 3 acres have several different growing situations for the "permaculture demonstration site".

There are MANY permaculture projects, cordwood buildings, rain garden(s), an awesome rolling high tunnel greenhouse, companion planting, etc.

The 2 acres that are left will be used for the workshop as a working example of Mark's Restoration Agriculture method.
