Permaculture is “the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems” (permaculturenews.org). Permaculture takes significant wisdom and inspiration from traditional Indigenous farming practices around the world.

The Metanoia Farmers Worker Cooperative (also known as the CMU Farm) is making a big transition to permaculture, and you’re invited to come along for the journey and learn with them and with us!

During this workshop we will discuss water management in a permaculture system, and then work together to dig a swale (ditch and hill that conserve water)

Come prepared to learn and work. If you need ability-based accommodations, please let us know and we’ll find a way for you to participate!

This event is FREE but we do ask that you RSVP below.

Thursday July 27, 7 PM
