As a reminder, this is the stretch goal we're currently blazing a trail towards:



I love a pawpaw, especially in a halloumi salad with rocket (do you guys say arugula?), pine nuts, cherry tomatoes and a lemony dressing.

How do you eat yours?

Loving that! The higher we can get this number, the more people we can tell about permaculture and work on impressive projects to lure them into the permies fold (insert evil yet wholesome laugh)

We are at: $107,453 with 11 and a bit hours to go!

Who wants to add a course about water harvesting to the goodie stack? Learn from biologist and Watershed-Management-Group certified rainwater harvester, Mike Gaglio, all about green infrastructure and rainwater harvesting techniques. For $100+ backers, this could be added to the pot, if we get to $110,000 before the end!
