our most ambitious project to date!
The output of this project will be 2-fold:
Output 1) The establishment of 5
perennial food systems, at the high end of the
Wheaton Eco Scale (level 8 or higher), capable of producing abundant sustenance, such that a person could meet their nutritional needs with sourcing nearly all their food from the plot.
Output 2) The production of a narrative-style internet
video series about the pursuit of Output 1.
The goal of the video series is 2 parts experimentation 3 parts inspiration. Probably lumped into the "edutainment documentary" sub-genre, with maybe a little bit of not-horrible reality tv sprinkled in. We won't have any need to add extra drama - cultivating a
sustainable food-producing ecosystem surely will provide all the drama we need, right?

The contest will run from April 1 to October 31, 2023. Some gardeners will choose to come early, between January 1 and March 31, to prepare their plot. The Project Manager will be responsible for all project details both during, and in the time leading up to the contest.
Name your own pay! What sounds dreamy for
permaculture video stuff? $30 per hour? $40 per hour?
The Project Manager position will be a full-time role from April 1 to October 31, 2023. 40 hours per week, every week. Prior to April 1, the position is expected to be part-time, around 20 hours per week. Part-time responsibilities may begin as early as December, 2022. Invoices will be submitted twice per month with hours logged, and pay will be issued as a 1099 contractor. All required benefits, living expenses, and anything else must be paid out of the project manager's hourly wage, so submit your proposed hourly rate accordingly. Each applicant must specify their required hourly rate.
It is expected that the project manager will secure accommodations. It is possible that those accommodations will be at one of Wheaton Labs' rental structures (paid for by the project manager), on-site in an rv or similar, or at a nearby rental. Some applicants may wish to come solo, some may wish to bring family or significant others.
