Project: Evergreen Plains Farm
Posted by Michael Hawthorne almost 10 years ago
Evergreen Plains Farm is an Organic Permaculture Farm in Kenya. We were established in January 2014 and after a lot of hardwork we are already seeing the massive improvements in the local environment.
Our new farm has fruits, vegetables, honey, dairy goats & cows, wood products, free range chickens, herbs, oils & much more.
We look forward to sharing more of our adventure into living sustainably, and hope you can come and visit us in Kenya. If you wish to make a booking at our Guesthouse or register for a program or course you can email us at admin@evergreenplainsfarm.com
From the moment you arrive and see the farm animals peacefully grazing in the paddocks and the sunflowers blooming in the fields, you will know that Evergreen Plains Farm is a very special place.
The skills, knowledge and experience of our team is our greatest asset.
With outstanding professionalism, dedication, passion and a friendly smile, they go above and beyond every day to create the very special Evergreen Plains Farm experience. Our philosophy is that the team who plays together stays together. We work hard, have lots of fun, respect one another’s skills and experience and feel privileged to work in such a magnificent place.
If you're thinking about how you can live more simply OR maybe you already have a plan for making some major life changes, then one of our workshops or courses is a MUST do to develop a strategy, take a break from the "real world," or just figure out what's next...
Evergreen Plains Farm hosts Farm Tours, farm or community groups and schools, for farm-based field studies and adventures.
Courses, workshops and field days are a very important part of what we do at Evergreen Plains Farm. It is through these events that we spread the word and share skills in sustainable living. On completion of our courses, students are able and ready to design and implement a better future for their families, farms and communities.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
