Thanks, Nancy, For sure!  

They started with 5+ acres of overgrazed pasture in 2013. As of today, 3 acres have several different growing situations for the "permaculture demonstration site".  

There are MANY permaculture projects, cordwood buildings, rain garden(s), an awesome rolling high tunnel greenhouse, companion planting, etc.

The 2 acres that are left will be used for the workshop as a working example of Mark's Restoration Agriculture method.

This is my first post here  My family & I live in Eastern WA and I travel frequently to Eastern MT where my family has homesteaded and been small/rural town living for more than a century. I'm interested in all things permaculture!

I do a lot of work with Paradise Permaculture Institute and they have a Mark Shepard (author of Restoration Agriculture and Water for Any Farm) event
Restoration Agriculture: Moving Water on the Land
September 6-8th, 2024, in Livingston, Montana.

It's a 3-Day workshop!

Any Mark Shepard fans or permaculturists in Montana interested in the event?
