Our Permaculture
Homestead

I've known Denice and Michael for many years now. I consider them my permaculture mentors, good friends, and constant source of inspiration. Their farm is beautiful, ecological, and constantly improving and evolving with every interesting project and sustainable technique you could think of. Their soil and results have miraculous qualities that only come with time and the right natural amendments. Their experiments range from growing an almond tree from a store bought almond to hand building a new innovative greenhouse, to growing giant pumpkins. I marvel at the huge tomatilloes grown outside, the size of green apples, the peaches they grew in Deary Idaho, the giant hoophouse full of vegetables. The abundance of their land is only outdone by the generosity of their spirit of helping to further permaculture, and helping to share surplus and knowledge with the community. I'm so grateful for the two of them to have such an innovative, well run and organized demonstration permaculture farm in my community. I treasure the memories of the many garden tours they have shared with us all, and the fun events like cider making and pizzas from their cob oven. I now have established plants and flowers on my farm that Denice had given me from seeds, and cuttings. When I am on their farm I feel like I am in a wonderful earthly paradise, a beautiful future we are all capable of achieving.
