Join us for an experiential experience in our sacred homestead, Lemu Sacred Regenerative Urban Farm and Permaculture as well as other guest sites. During a six weeks timeframe students will have the opportunity for both a virtual and hands on experience to engage, learn and share within our 14 year old, slightly over an acre Homestead. The site consists of wild edibles, medicinal and native plants, fruit, nut and berries, four ponds, bee keeping, our new high tunnel and we have cultivated wild mushrooms (winecups and morels). We will also hopefully be adding chickens and ducks in the spring. We practice the concepts of Permaculture, Organic Urban farming and Gardening and Regenerative Sustainability throughout our entire homestead inclusive of composting, vermicomposting hugel-kultur building and keyhole gardening, the use of polycultures and interplanting, utilization of natural materials for building structures and an opportunity for more.

An Important Update about the Virtual/ In-Person Component:
Students will have the option to participate in the weekday classes virtually or in-person, however for the weekend classes we would like folks to attend in-person. Students will attend two evenings during the week and all day experiential on SaturdayThis is due to the fact that we will be taking field trips to other local farms and gardens on the weekends as well as engaging in various projects on the homestead. It is recommended that folks attend as much of the PDC as possible in-person to gain the full benefit and experience and to engage in the cohort experience which is invaluable.
