The New Earth Homestead is a project of Terra Nova.

The New Earth Homestead is both a food producing homestead and a Permaculture demonstration. What is Permaculture?

“Permaculture is a design system that reconciles human communities with the ecological imperatives of a living planet.”
Ben Haggard
