This conversation was recorded live with Ben Weiss of The Rewilding School about the pricing model he and his co-teacher, Wilson Alvarez, developed to insure that permaculture education and training could remain affordable while the instructors and organizers can still make a living doing what they love.

My guest for this episode is Wayne Herring of Herrings Green Grass Farm, and two time guest on the program. His first appearance on the show was to discuss starting a sustainable family farm, and the second as a listener question and answer session about small scale farming. This time we talk about his transition away from his corporate life so that he can be near home on a regular basis, as well as starting his creation of a new home-based business, Herring Coach, which helps to provide a balance between family, farming, and income. He also shares with us his thoughts on farming, and paying farmers a reasonable salary for their work, the economics of farming, and the many hats he wears to get everything done. If after listening to this episode you would like to reach out to Wayne to learn more about his work as a farmer or so he can help you build your own professional permaculture niche, you can reach him at: w.herring (at) herringcoach (dot) com. We're also discussing, as you'll hear, about my returning when things get busy to do another conversation. If this is something you would like, please send questions to me through the usual ways.

In preparing for the A Gathering of Farmers conference, where I'll be presenting a Permaculture 101 workshop, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to practice permaculture and then share what we know with others. How to distill that information down into something that is meaningful to mean, and not just repeating the information of those who came before. For me, that means working from the ethics down to everything else. But that doesn't mean that works for you when it comes time to talk to others. So, considering your position, think about and make a list of the influences, permaculture and non, that got you to the place you find yourself in now when it comes to this system of design. What books, authors, friends, family members, videos, and everything else were what got you here? Even if it was a conversation from 1972 that started you on that path, write it down. Then consider each of the people and other influences you wrote down. Who would you go back and speak to again? What would you re-read, or re-watch, or re-listen to, in order to ground your own ideas? Now that you know what and who, seek them out. Go and talk, read, watch, and listen again. Refine your understanding. Make your knowledge of permaculture better. Also, if you eat food and don't grow all of your own, join a local family-run Community Supported Agriculture program or start shopping at your local farmer's market. Get to know the people who grow your food. You'll make a great impact on their life, and your own as well. As you do all those things, I will do the same. Together we can take care of the earth, ourselves, and each other, and in turn build a better world.
If this show leaves you with more questions, or you'd like to talk about one of the points at hand, I'd love to hear from you. Leavea comment below.

My guest for this episode is Dr. John Kitsteiner, a medical doctor and permaculture practitioner. He also runs the very good website, Temperate Climate Permaculture. I've known of him and his work from my times spent as a member of the Survival Podcast forums community, and through his site. A listener suggested him as a guest after he posted a series of articles titled Dr. Permaculture's Guide to Healthy Eating Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. After listening to this show, I highly recommend you go read those, as well as his article series The Myth of the Perfect Job, Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. [caption width="2100" align="alignleft"] Dr. John Kitsteiner[/caption] If you'll be attending the Permaculture Voice Conference March 13-16, 2014, in Temecula, California, you can meet John. He will be there as an attendee and presenter. Tell him hello for me if you get a chance. He and I have never met, but I look forward to the opportunity in the future. For more information on some of the ideas presented here, I recommend listening to the past interviews with Arthur Haines about Wild Foods, Mary Johnson's introduction to nutrient dense farming, and Dan Kittredge's conversation about nutrient dense foods. From here, my next guest is Wayne Herring of Herring's Green Grass Farm, a past guest, to continue the discussion about food and small scale farming. In the meantime, I'll be attending the A Gathering of Farmer's conference on March 8th, 2014, at Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA. Part of my time there will be as a presenter for a Permaculture 101 workshop. If you're in the area, stop by, and join in all the fun. As always, if you have any questions or comments feel free to get in touch with me.
