Paul you are such a great self promoter and an excellent programmer/web designer.

I have been doing permaculture for 18+ years. I volunteered and worked at Bev's Place the permie pioneer in Clark County starting back in 2000.  I studied and volunteered at Tabor Tilth Farm in Portland
with Connie Van Dyke, I watched and observed what is now Columbia Ecovillage for years before it was formed, and have be a member of Portland Permaculture Guild for almost 2 decades.

I have shepherded fruit trees for 19 years now at my farm, fig, apple, Asian pear, cherry, pluot.  Growing kiwi and grape vines, comfrey (2 kinds), lots of vegetables, herbs and spreading starts of these plants to others for years.  I have supported you in the past with some of your kick starter campaigns.  Been to numerous Northwest Permaculture convergences and Village Building Convergences. But only experience at you place counts? Good luck to you!

Please get some (one or two) of these thousands of properties you say are looking of an heir and then you will have done humanity a big service. And get some other sites to be certified and then and only then I can refer people to your real program.

Great idea Paul!
Do you have a list of properties that are available to be "gifted" to people who complete your program?

How can I get my urban farm (Meadows Tilth Urban Farm) to be qualified as PEP/PEX certifier?

Thanking you so very much in advance for your replies.

Experienced Urban Farmer is looking to find others interested in pooling some of our resources (seeds, starts, labor, fiat, crypto's, knowledge, etc.) to build two ecovillages.

1. raw land

2. Apartment conversion

If not you, who? if not now, when?
