I've been involved in gardening, homesteading, natural building, and primitive skills for most of my life. I've studied Permaculture for over 15 years.

I've worked on a dozen Permaculture farms over the years. I've managed a thriving fruit orchard and Permaculture demonstration project for the last four years.

I'm currently working in Hood River Oregon in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge helping to build a food production program on a large community farm.

I am the owner of Illume Gardens, a Permaculture design consultation business. Check me out at illumegardens.com

Challenge and a Blessing
