For anyone looking for an opportunity to start doing permaculture for a living through an earth based regenerative business, with some consistent professional mentoring, I am offering a farming/permaculture business mentoring situation on my 6 acre homestead in Ashfield.  It is a year to 2 year long residential program that offers weekly 1:1 coaching in permaculture and farm/food entrepreneurship while you get the chance to try out your business on the land made available through the program. 

Cost for the on-site residential option is $400USD/month but you keep all that you earn from your business to offset this cost.  Applications are due Oct. 15th, 2015 (see www.wethetrees.com for help fundraising, some scholarships possible for people from underrepresented groups).

There are 4-5 residential positions available, and participants will live together in communal household and manage the 6 acres while working on developing their own permaculture/farm business with assistance from me and the other participants.  Non-residential participation is also possible.  The training will include a Permaculture Design Certificate course, as well as PDC teaching experience, livestock and perennial farming, and opportunities to work alongside international permaculture designers in real world projects.    If interested, please send me an email ASAP for the application at mary@terra-genesis.com.  Forward to anyone who you think might be interested.
