Jonathan and Ashley and their 4 children traveled the country for 5 years, renovated a vintage Airstream to fit their needs for off-grid camping, and set off on an adventure that would forever change the course of their lives. To do this they sold their house and all their belongings in exchange for a life of adventure. After 5 years on the road, they found an off grid property that they wanted to call home in Southeastern Arizona. This brought a host of new challenges that came with learning how to homestead, let alone homestead in the high desert. Completely … Continue reading →

The principles of Permaculture covered today are the 12 principles offered by Permaculture’s co-founder David Holmgren.  There are far more than these 12, we are just going to cover these today as a way to expose our audience to what Permaculture is really all about. I feel the discipline is largely misunderstood, either as simply organic farming on steroids or some hippy dippy lefty mud rolling eco leftist ideology.  It is really neither, rather it is a design science used to create systems that work with nature to support all of humanities needs. Join Us Today to Discuss… Why permaculture … Continue reading →

Today I want to discuss a skill we have not dug into for quite a while.  That is seed saving and I also want to talk a bit about seed storage, trading seed and the value of regionally adapted seeds. There is also a ton of confusion in the seed marketplace today about exactly what a GMO is, what a hybrid is and what an “heirloom” seed is. Without an understanding of this you are vulnerable to a lot of misinformation campaigns designed to sell you things you don’t need or keep you from using some seeds that may really … Continue reading →

Today I am going to use a variety of projects I am currently planning and implementing here at Nine Mile Farm to teach you about function stacking.  Function stacking is a key principle in permaculture but it should really be a key principle in all design. Geoff Lawton says “the more restrictions on a design, the more eloquent the design” and it is always how you see function stacking show up even when designers don’t use the term.  A perfect example is all the “tiny house” TV shows and videos.  Equally you see it in RVs. As soon as that … Continue reading →

Today I released an older video I found about Brad Lancaster and his water harvesting efforts in Tuscon Arizona.  It really got me thinking about the need to build community though abundance. As this was happening I had a guest turn out to be and this is as nice as I can put it, “not right for the show” and hence lost my booked guest for today.  So I reached out to fellow Goose Gaggle member and friend of the TSPC community Xavier Hawk about this topic and he was kind enough to join me at the last minute for … Continue reading →
