Making Small Farms Work- Webinar with Richard Perkins and Neal Spackman

Published: Mon, 12/05/16

Hi Everybody,
   This week’s webinar will be presented by Richard Perkins, a farmer who founded Ridgedale Permaculture in rural Sweden, and who is the author of “Making Small Farms Work.”  I had the chance to flip through Richard’s book in October, and I was impressed: It’s thorough, extensive, light on theory, and heavy on practice.

    Richard’s been a professional designer since 2000, and has taught and practiced keyline, permaculture, and holistic management in multiple countries across the world.  

    In “Making Small Farms Work,”  his experience in design, teaching, and farming shine through. 

    This week, Richard’s going to give us an overview of his farm at Ridgedale, and walk us through how he approaches: 

  • Design
  • Working with people
  • Getting started on the right foot
  • Planning, monitoring and managing
  • Getting down to business
    I’m excited to ask him some questions and see how he works.  Richard’s Webinar is at 10 AM PST this Thursday, December 8.
