Don’t just hear about it from us, here are some comments from previous course attendees, asked if they can recommend the course and why …
“Yes, Packed with Information. Teachers are Mentors. Personal Growth. On-site appreciation of growing and living off your own food. True examples of people WALKING their TALK. New friendships with like minded people. Genuine CARING ENVIRONMENT.” Anne
“You acquire knowledge that will influence all parts of your life and make lifelong connections with beautiful people. Oh, and if the food here doesn’t convince you to grow your own I don’t know what will!” Marnie
“Yes! It was an incredible experience to camp for 2 weeks and be fully immersed in the world of permaculture, all the teachers were so knowledgeable and the range of topics and teaching styles worked so well together… I would love everybody who is even considering a PDC to have the same wonderful experience I have had a Fair Harvest” – Poppy
