Visit Sepp Holzer and his team in Austria in August 2014

August 5th to August 16th 2014

Learn from Master Permaculturist and Revolutionary Farmer Sepp Holzer at his new farm, the Holzerhof. This project has been largely unmanaged since the initial installation 10 years ago, yet Sepp's food forest has matured into a bountiful and beautiful landscape. It provides a living example that working with nature is the path to an abundant paradise.

This is followed by a trip to the Krameterhof for a day with Josef (Sepp's son). These models of Holzer Permaculture provide living examples of the abundance, health, and beauty that we can create on our planet. Anyone would feel fine living this way, nobody has to starve.

The concludes with 5 days with Permavitae, taking what we've learned and putting it into action planning a landscape. We visit a traditional building museum and have a lesson on no treatment beekeeping in the Alps. We will learn how to make a natural log hive, and the best approaches for natural ways to keep bees. We’ll learn how to use and maintain a scythe, enhance seasonal fruits of nature and wild game, traditional shoe-making and more.

Course price includes stays at wonderful bed & breakfasts, meals and transportation.

"First Edible Community in Austria":

Sandra,
Thanks for sharing the video! What a great example and great community! I would love for our local area to be installing these edible landscapes. I wish I could take the opportunity this August to go on this intensive and learn more so I could start the movement here in Mid-Coast Maine. There are so many local schools crying out for volunteers to bring gardening into the school system on their land but the practice and example falls short of the ideal.

This video has shown me a potential new way forward! Thanks you, again.
