Hundred Fruit Farm's 2025 Winter-Spring PDC: Ecological Design - Jan 2025

📅 Jan 18 - Mar 30, 2025 | 📍 Hundred Fruit Farm, USA | 🏷️ course

The 2025 Winter-Spring Permaculture Design Course by Hundred Fruit Farm is a comprehensive PDC from January 18 to March 30, 2025, hosted in the USA (specific location via Eventbrite), ideal for winter learners wanting to deepen permaculture knowledge through structured, farm-based immersion. Aimed at aspiring designers, farmers, and sustainability professionals, this course covers the full spectrum of permaculture ethics, principles, and techniques: from observation and sector analysis to earthworks, plant guilds, animal systems, aquaculture, renewable energy, and community resilience strategies. Spanning over two months with regular sessions at the farm, participants engage in hands-on projects, site tours, and group designs, learning to create integrated, low-input systems that mimic natural ecosystems. Hundred Fruit Farm's setting provides live examples of fruit-focused permaculture, teaching soil building, pest management, harvest succession, and value-added enterprises. Attendees will gain certification, practical templates for their own projects, and insights into scaling permaculture for food security and ecological restoration. Its winter-spring timing is perfect for USA practitioners planning spring implementations, offering downtime for theory while building momentum toward growing seasons. The course's value shines in its farm-centric approach: practitioners leave with blueprints for food forests, water harvesting, composting systems, and regenerative economies, empowering them to regenerate local landscapes, reduce reliance on industrial ag, and foster biodiverse homesteads or community farms amid climate uncertainty.
