Elle Grace here. I am super passionate about all things Ayurveda- sister science to Yoga. I am also in love with industrial hemp, hemp homes, hemp everything really, and cbd oil for healing. Glad to make everyone's acquaintance :)

Hi! Just to quickly introduce myself. I grew up in the Uk, have kicked around the world a lot and am now based on the land in southern Portugal. Got into permaculture in CA in 2011 and then went more deeply into syntropic farming from 2018 and now I implement, experiment, mentor and teach and am the guardian of a syntropic area planted in 2020 and a couple of other good forests. I sometimes go to Guinea-Bissau and Malawi to the villages to learn and share in agroecology/agroforestry. I’m not able to come to the live community meetings as the time zone doesn’t work for me, but I’m very happy to be here!

Worst frost in years. Hope some trees and plants pull through😱

Mine is Pacific Wax Myrtle because it’s a native (pnw) nitrogen fixer that supports an incredible diversity of migratory bird species.

What's up guys! My name is Hugh Carnahan, and my background was industrial manufacturing. There's a whole science of doing as much as you can with the least amount of work or no work with as few resources as possible. During the covid days I had a 6 weeks headstart over the US as our plant in Shanghai was shutdown. I knew something bad was coming so started ordering seeds from online, and manually downloading all the videos for how to produce food. Cut down the decretive trees to make space for a garden. (Looking back that wasn't great but I only knew of Annuals at the time). I started applying the science of process to gardening and ran SMACK into Permaculture. I couldn't believe this existed, and no one was really paying attention. Since then, i've been hooked. I now function as a small crappy homestead near town, Chickens, Perenial Tree crops, planting in Guilds, Bees, Meat Rabbits etc. I tout myself as the Worst Homestead on Youtube. I also worked with Mark Shepperd to look at a RAD instillation on our property. And I've just leased our land to a rotational grazer who will move Cattle, Sheep, and Pigs through our property. We're also going to experiment with letting the Pigs clear all our underbrush, then open up the canopy to do Silvopasture by removal and let 30% light hit the floor and graze animals through there. Should be fun! I'm sure like most of you, I have no idea what i'm doing and am making it up as I go along. Excited to be in the group!
