Welcome to Fair Harvest Permaculture

This is a fantastic course!! The whole two weeks (classes, breaks and other activities) are very well structured and thought through. The experience of sharing space, time and meals with other like-minded people is wonderful. The course offers a variety of teaching styles (from different teachers) and provides the opportunity to see the implementation of permaculture principles in many different ways (which is very useful and makes it relevant to everyone participating). Fair Harvest is a showcase in itself of the application of everything Jodie and Do believe in, it’s a beautiful example of the permaculture principles at play. I would highly recommend this course to EVERYONE, whether they are interested in their property or not.

Doing a PDC at Fair Harvest has expanded my way of thinking - I'm leaving with practical tools and a deep spiritual connection to direct my course of action for contributing to a better world.  

Everyone, 9-99 years old should do this course. The blessing of immersing yourself in the knowledge of the teachers is something that I will forever cherish and be grateful for. This has already changed my life and I expect it will never stop changing me. I found a community of love, transparency and joy in a mixed bag of age and backgrounds. Jodie and Do are beautiful souls and share so much… and thank you for all the nourishing food.

I expected to enjoy this course and I expected to learn things, but it turned out to be far more than that. It was two weeks of being immersed in living and breathing permaculture with different people with a common goal.  Permaculture principles are a map for living a fulfilling life and I am grateful to Jodie and Do for facilitating this life changing experience.

A fantastic course in a fantastic setting.  Wonderful ordinary people from all walks of life coming together with an open mind wanting to learn about permaculture and ways of integrating more sustainable practices into their lives.  You walk away from this not only with many great ideas, tons of new knowledge but also with some great new friends.  Loved it. Still loving it.  So excited about what’s coming next.

Living in the community of Fair Harvest, learning, eating, sharing and being together throughout the Design course has left me full of love and gratitude for the opportunity, experience, knowledge and awareness that planting a garden can change my world.

I wanted to learn about permaculture without really knowing why, so I attended the Intro to Permaculture course and then I knew I needed to know more.  So I signed up for the PDC thinking a bit of it would apply to me - and it has opened up a new world of information, friends and new recipes for cooking plants / fruits I have never heard of before.  The course has helped me understand how important it is for all of us to do our bit, from where we are, with what we have, to grow our food, recycle and reuse our resources, and celebrate the gift of life.

Thanks to Jodie and Do (and all the other teachers) for giving me the most incredible, life changing experience over the course of the PDC.  There’s no going back now and I can’t wait to start using all the amazing knowledge about permaculture I have gained because of it.  I am so grateful to have had this opportunity.

So yummy! Thank you so much for all the time and effort you had to put into making so many amazing meals.  And also thank you for introducing so many new and wonderful fruits and vegetables. -   Loved the food.  Thank you for making my taste buds sing! Yum! Thank you for cooking some of the yummiest, healthiest food I’ve ever eaten… was so wonderful seeing fresh produce from the garden turned into the amazing food we ate over the PDC.

Camping during the Permaculture Design Certificate Lovely campsite, enjoyed the birdlife around us and the awesome designs around everywhere.  Shower worked very well, using it as well as the compost toilet was surprisingly a great experience and very pleasant.  Great ideas I got from that.  I enjoyed that there were no restrictions (other than private areas) as where we were allowed to go on the property. Was great wandering around and getting inspired. Loved the compost shower! Loved the venue - a true example of community space for all.

Great course content.  Theory is presented well, is understandable and translated through demonstration and practical exercises.  A great opportunity to meet like-minded folk.

Fair Harvest is such an inspiration. Every time I come out here I leave with a fresh burst of energy and knowledge to apply to my own place.  Thank you.

Great blend of theory and practice!  Delivered with enthusiasm and patience.

A must for anyone who cares about the environment and who wants to become sustainable.

Great information, inspiring and hands on.  Great hospitalty.  Thank you for a great day!

Fair harvest Permaculture provided me with a complete, holistic PDC that balanced on-site practical experiences with training in permiculture principles.  Jodie and everyone at Fair Harvest made me feel very welcome and supported.  I am so happy to have stayed at Fair Harvest and am grateful for the friendships that have come out of our time together.  I recommend attending Fair Harvest courses and look forwards to further involvement with Jodie and the crew.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this PDC course to anyone.  The introduction was thorough and inspiring, and the PDC had such a great range of teachers that have a really broad range of experience, which gave a lot to us as students with out range of permaculture experience.  I'd been meaning to get around to doing a PDC for about 10 years and it was well worth the wait!

It's a great validation about things I'd intuited about what's right for our land and is pretty spot on.  But even better, the course gave me hundreds more ideas to build on when thinking out a sustainable bigger plan.  Thanks Jodie and Do.
