Potluck at our farm! As farmers, we're very conscious of the seasons; they're very much a part of our lives. Winter solstice is a time when plants are drawing in and going dormant, but will soon start coming to life again. We use this time to harvest and enjoy our fall and winter crops, but also to plan, celebrate, and deepen relationships in the community.
So if you would like to celebrate regenerative, ecologically friendly living with us, come on down. We'll share some exciting developments for growers and farmers in the area, give you a short tour of our farm (which will be in winter mode), share a meal and get to know each other around a fire.
4 PM for tour and short briefing, 5 PM celebration starts
We are launching the first in a series of Earthskills gatherings at Our Permaculture Farm in Brooksville, Florida.
We will spend the weekend sharing skills from tracking to canning to wild edibles to caring for animals, growing food ecologically, and many other skills. All activities will be outdoors.
Our goal is to create a community setting whereby people with earthskills can meet each other and share their skills with others of like mind, learn from each other, get to know each other, and create stronger communities in our bioregions.
This event is open to everybody, but we expect it mostly to be attended by people in West Central Florida.
Because we want to keep this as accessible as possible, we are asking for donations and suggest a sliding scale amount. Suggested donations range from $25-50, which help us to cover costs of preparing the site, organizing and hosting the event.
To keep our costs low, we will ask that you bring your own food and eating utensils to this event. We will have facilities to warm it. We will have some camping spots available. Please let us know ahead of time if you intend to camp. Outdoor toilets and shower facilities available.

Sat - 10 AM to 5 PM, with evening activities and fire

We will have a plant and goods swap at 4 PM on Saturday. Please bring plants, seeds, or other goods that you’d like to share at our “really free market” on Saturday.
If you have an earthskill or other idea you’d like to share, please let us know!
