A taste of permaculturetour Sun October 17th 2014
from 10 am to 3.30 pm.
Join Stew and Bee on Merri Bee Organic Farm,Sunday October 17th 2014 for an introduction to Permaculture . We will learn the principals of permaculture which make for a resilient comfortable life which cares for Earth and people. We will take a wander through food forests, some 25 years old, visiting many friendly farm animals along the way. On thisextensive guided tour you willsee more than 90 different mature species of plants that provide fodder, fruit, timber, nuts craft materials or bee forage. Admire the happily grazing free range pigs, sheep, cows and ducks and marvel at the developing bamboo collection. See how nutrients are recycled in this thriving eco system.We may see a chick hatching or a lamb being born if we are very lucky.
Stewart and Bee have provided most of their own meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, herbs, condiments, bread and dairy produce for over 25 years andare keen to share permaculture design principals which have really worked with you. We decided years ago to withdraw our supportfrom multinational agribusiness / pharmaceutical corporations by simply refusing to eat their GMOs, pesticides, food additives, nanno particles, hormones, irradiation, antibiotics , heavy metals ect. Industrial food corporations are serving these up to most of us every dayadding huge toxic loads to our air, water and soil . But it doesn’t have to be that way. Taste the forgotten flavours of compost grown fruit, nutrient dense vegesand animal products. We find children really appreciate real food.
Seethe passive solar human and animal housing, intensive gardens, nursery, /general plant propagation areas, poultry sheds and runs, compost production, worm farm, wicking bed, swales, mature rare fruit and nut trees, raspberries, wood lots and lots more. Bring appropriate footwear and clothing for steep hiking in the fresh air of Nannup. Cost $75 .00 per adult and $15.00 per child, which includes lunch and teas . Please note you are responsible for your childrens saftey on the farm but we will take all care as well. This workshop will assist those looking for a property.
We will focus on assessing a block’s potential for permaculture and the principals of design. Please email beewinfield@westnet.com.au after booking your spot instructions here . We look forward to meeting you .
Cheers, Bee
