Keela Permaculture Farm's Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is officially certified by the Permaculture Association. Offered three times a year, this course covers the standard 72-hour PDC syllabus, with a focus on permaculture systems, hands-on learning, and completing a design for a personal project. It is ideal for those interested in integrating permaculture into their lives, especially those aiming to live on land or grow their own food.
Participants will be immersed in off-grid living within a supportive community setting, fostering a deep connection with nature. Alongside the experience, they will enjoy wholesome organic meals and participate in rejuvenating yoga sessions. The 52-acre permaculture farm includes food forests, agroforestry systems, and natural buildings made from sustainable materials such as straw bale, cordwood, and cob. Students will observe functional permaculture systems in action, including the integration of livestock such as sheep, pigs, and chickens.
During the course, each student will work on a personal project that ties the curriculum to their individual goals. Projects can range from designing for their own land to transforming a family garden, a balcony, or even implementing a worm composting system—whatever aligns with their future plans.
The PDC can be taken as a standalone course or combined with subsequent workshops that follow immediately after.
Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certified Permaculture Design Course certificate, demonstrating their expertise in permaculture principles and design, opening new possibilities for applying permaculture in their own lives.
