HELLO
I would like to tell you about a
Permaculture and Survival Event in Cheyenne Wyoming. June 21st, 2014 A Bee Friendly Company, INC. is teaming up with I.P.U.G. (a
local prepping, homesteading, and survival group) to offer a one day course on the
art of
Permaculture and
water catchment. The state of Wyoming is one of the largest suppliers of water west of the Mississippi. The Water just runs off the
land here. We are going to show you how to make it crawl and soke into the land. To rehydrate the land will make the ground here more fertile and worth more. If we start slowing down the run off here in our state, there will be more water for all states.
Our Keynote speaker will be Nick Ferguson. Nick Ferguson (heard on The Survival Pod Cast Episode-1204) is a passionate and active permaculturist who is currently building his property into a
Permaculture school called
Permaculture Classroom. Before earning his
PDC and
Earthworks Course certification from
Geoff Lawton (world renowned permaculturist and teacher), Nick grew up
gardening, and he and his extended family were heavily into alternative agriculture. Nick now manages and cares for a multi-million dollar estate outside of a large metropolitan area. Nick’s real passion is teaching
sustainable living systems and design, and for this reason he is building a Permaculture demonstration site, school, and sustainable farm.
This day long series of classes will be an amazing opportunity for you to receive extensive education on topics that will save you money, time, and provide valuable information on prepping for good times and bad. We have guest speakers coming to talk on several topics (Permaculture of course, Rain water catchment, Street and land water catchment, Plant companionship for the rocky mountains, offensive and defensive driving, Gold panning, Good food by Granola, and Some
beekeeping tips) beyond just permaculture. This course is from 7am to 5pm+ with Q&A at the end. Nick will be here for the whole day, and available for a few mins of FREE consultation. The price for this course would not even cover a consultation from Nick. Getting information like this almost never comes at this price. We hope that you will attend and give yourself and your family the benefit of this valuable information! You can find out more by emailing A BEE Friendly Company, Inc. at
abeefriendlycompany@gmail.com. We have 32 spots left out of the 50. Prices for the course are $175 for the day ($275 for couples)
come for FUN, FOOD, and Learning. Please share what you know with others.

* If you want more to eat or drink, bring it ( Example: an adult beverage AFTER the earthworks) but I am sure you will not leave my table hungry! NUMBER ONE THING, have a good Time! If you feel that you cannot contain yourself and behave in a respectful manner, don’t come. I think you know some of the people that will be here and I am sure they will help you leave.
