  • Ep27, Air Water Food Shelter Kinship Meaning (Part 1) - Permaculture Realized Podcast
    There’ll be few main parts to this episode. I’m going to start out by doing a survey of kind of our basic biological human needs. So you know food, energy, shelter, connection, love that type of thing. (our global life support systems) And look at those within the context of how we go about meeting those needs and how that has changed over time especially from pre-agriculture revolution and then after the agriculture revolution and now into modern technological age.

    Today’s guest is film producer, author and teacher Justin Rhodes who has been running his 75 acre permaculture farm near Asheville, NC for many years. He’s here to share with us some of the many lessons he’s learned along the way, and give some pointers to those getting started.
    I can really relate to Justin’s approach. Basically don’t worry too much about making mistakes. Learn the basics, then just try it out. Learn by doing. And play with it and experiment with it along the way, have fun!

    Because it’s not about the destination; having this super self-sufficient homestead where you efficiently produce all your own needs. It’s also about the process of learning and transformation you go through to get there!
    Don’t forget to check out Justins blog AbundantPermaculture.com and their daily homestead videos on youtube under Justin Rhodes. If you’re thinking about getting started with chickens, I highly recommend checking out Justins free videos and his Permaculture Chickens DVD which you can find on his blog.
