Bullock Brothers Homestead - A 25-Year Permaculture Project

What do you mean, you are forced to land your land to big farmers and why? What kind of law is that? Can you please clarify.

Interesting huh? I took a course thaty taught at for a Permaculture certification.

I grew up in SLO, CA & knew the Bullocks a little via a mutual friend. The love, care & hard work they put into their land & their family relationship, way back then, & ever since, is a real testimony to their ethics. They have been living close to the land & to each other pretty much all their lives. As far as I know, theirs is simply the "wealth" of information & experience they possess, gained the old fashioned way; through thoughtful study of the laws of nature & long years of hard work.

Is it very difficult to get into? How would you quailfy? In what states can you still do this?

Yeah, I came from SLO county myself. I find raising food organically in east TN much more challenging. Great work up there!

If you haven't heard of Anastasia, Ringing Cedars series you might want to check it out. It is so inspiring for the turnover of our world into this type of life. I feel it is right around the corner.

Thanks for posting this!

Peace.

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll look into it. We need more places like this, everywhere.

Hey man great video! I'm wondering if you could answer 3 questions for me... 1. What specific permaculture books would you recommend? 2. Would buying tree seeds be a good idea for seeding and eventually transplant into permanent soil? Or should I buy sapplings? 3rd, is there a major permaculture website I could go to with forums and possibly classes listed in diff. areas of the country? I live in Mass. and want to take classes if there are nearby. Thank you so much

Does it matter how they got the money?

From visiting there and talking with Doug, the people before them really hurt the land. That swamp was drained, and all the ecosystem life was hurting bad. By adding diversity and building humus and reforming the swamp, they had muskrats! Then, they later had otters which went after the muskrats!

As for the land, most of it they own, and some they have permission to use from neighbors who really enjoy the work they have been doing.
