Happy Boots!



There is some incredible work happening at Wheaton Labs. The unique and interesting projects unfolding there are genuinely inspiring, and it’s a joy for all of us to witness the process and final products. The long-term experiments conducted offer invaluable insights that we can apply directly to our homesteads, allowing us to benefit from the lessons learned without going through the trial and error ourselves.

A significant portion of this work is done by the participants in the permaculture bootcamp. Not only are they immersed in learning about permaculture and homesteading, but they also play a vital role in sharing their experiences through pictures and written updates about their projects. This initiative significantly contributes to our goal of "infecting more brains with permaculture."

We refer to these updates as the Bootcamp Experience Log, and once they reach a certain number of posts, participants receive compensation from the BEL fund. To encourage more frequent contributions from our boots, we’re organizing a BEL fundraiser where you can make any contribution amount.

As an added incentive, if you contribute $250 towards the BEL fund within the next three days, you'll have the chance to stay at Wheaton Labs for an entire week in the highly sought-after Red Cabin—absolutely free! The Red Cabin is cozy and private yet conveniently located just steps away from all main activities. It even features a recently upgraded rocket mass heater with a cob hat! You’ll be among the first to experience it!

For more details about the fundraiser, click here:

Thank you for considering supporting this wonderful initiative!


Cozy Red Cabin

Any takers?

Maybe we need to find other ways to talk about it.

Zero takers.

I feel like doing $5000 worth of advertising to get $250 to the BEL is not the wise path.  

I thought we would make this offer and get a dozen people jumping in.  Obv I was wrong.
