Utilizing the Whole Systems Research Farm permaculture site in Vermont's Mad River Valley, a new 175 acre site we recently acquired in central Vermont, our design studio resources, and a team of leading facilitators, Whole Systems Design offers a one-of-a-kind skills-based resiliency training experience through permaculture. This course begins at our 10 year-old maturing permaculture site - a landscape layered with established agro-ecological systems. Along with this site we will be designing and developing a new 175 acre site. The opportunity in this course is different from any currently available in United States, or likely elsewhere.  Please see student experiences on this page to learn more.   Please see the Whole Systems Design Studio and Research Farm site for more info.
