Regenerative Learning at Quail Springs

Courses/Workshops, DVDs/Books, Social Gatherings, Water Harvesting, peak oil — by Craig Mackintosh

DVDs/Books, Food Forests, Insects, Soil Biology, Trees — by Craig Mackintosh

In the last half of August Geoff Lawton will be teaching a Permaculture Design Certificate course at Quail Springs in California. In addition to experiencing an excellent course, the lucky students will also view the world premiere of the latest instructional DVD to come out of the Permaculture Research Institute. Titled “Establishing a Food Forest”, this amazing multimedia experience walks you through the process of creating food systems that are not only sustainable, but self-sustaining. Stay tuned to this blog for actual release dates for when the DVD will be available for purchase (expected to be September).

In the meantime, the clip below is another sneak peek at what the DVD has to offer. You can view other promos here and here. “Establishing a Food Forest” will be an excellent companion DVD for the very popular Water Harvesting DVD.

Isabell Shipard’s new book is out

DVDs/Books — by Administrator

“How can I grow and use sprouts as living food?”

Isabell Shipard’s new book. Sprouts provide quality nutrients and, by weight, are the richest source of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants of all fresh food; in fact, they have a much greater nutrient content than the original seed. Sprouts are fast growing and very econonical.

Sprouts help to alkalise the body, clear acid, toxic wastes and enable the body to heal itself and build a stronger immune system. Sprouts have an abundance of living enzymes, which, natural researchers say, help to slow down the ageing process.

To order “How can I grow and use sprouts as living food?” which is in large A4 size, with 138 pages, well illustrated with over 120 colour pictures, at $35 per book, plus postage/packaging and handling (all places in Australia) 1 book $9.90, 2-5 books $13, 6-10 books $22. Make your cheque or money order payable to Shipard’s Herb Farm and send your name and postal address with cheque or money order to: PO Box 66, Nambour Qld 4560. For international postal prices see this site.
