About 4 years ago I discovered my passion with farming and the life style that comes with it. Unfortunately, I live in NYC and have tried my hand at farming a small 1/4 acre plot about an hour north from here with very little success. My failures only fuel my desire to learn more. I am looking for a 12 month Permaculture farm/course where I can live and learn as many aspects to Permaculture as possible. My goal is to leave with the ability to design and operate a farm anywhere in the world. I have tried to contact Rak Tamachat Permaculture in Thailand, they are the only center I could find offering a full year practitioner course, but I have yet to hear back from them and it's been quite sometime. I would prefer someplace where farming can be done year round. Please reply if you have ideas, experience, or you are a center that offers education and are looking for a long term worker/student. Thanks.
