  • Holistic Management with Allan Savory

    Holistic Management with Allan Savory
    May 16 2025

    If you’re new to the world of permaculture, you may not be familiar with the work of Dan Palmer, who passed away in 2022, as his website and podcast don’t circulate or get mentioned as often as they used to. His website, makingpermaculturestronger.net, is still available, where you can explore his archives. I recommend taking the time to do so, as it’s worth the journey. It’s because of Dan, as the host of this episode, that I reshare this interview. With his gentle nature, his desire to go deeper into what made design and implementation more effective, and how he synthesized all that knowledge into something actionable, Dan was a positive voice for change to so many, including myself. Enjoy this interview, originally released in 2020.

  • The Permaculture Podcast is Back!

    The Permaculture Podcast is Back!
    May 12 2025

    The world is on fire and needs us, all of us, to care and show up. Each of us needs permaculture, so here I am, back at it again, sharing more from beneath this big, beautiful umbrella of philosophy, design, and implementation.

    In this episode, I share a bit about where things are at, what the show will look like moving forward, and what to expect from here. Support the Show

  • Agroforestry and Food Forests with Byron Birss

    Agroforestry and Food Forests with Byron Birss
    Aug 25 2024

    In this episode, Byron Birss speaks with Mary and Andrew as they talk about Byron’s transformation from someone with no knowledge of permaculture or gardening into a professional designer and food forest aficionado in just a few years. Growing up in the United States, Byron moved to New Zealand nearly a decade ago for a change of life that wound up being a life-changing experience.

  • Natural Resources Conservation Service with Rebecca Anderson

    Natural Resources Conservation Service with Rebecca Anderson
    Aug 10 2024
    Rebecca Anderson joins Mary and Andrew to discuss her work with National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and government body under the purview of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Steeped in Permaculture, with a degree in Environmental Science and Resource Management, and time as a Woofer, Rebecca shares what the NRCS provides and what she does in her job to support anyone interested in conserving soil, water, and other natural resources with technical and financial support. As a permaculture practitioner, I recommend listening to this conversation because assistance from NRCS is free and isn’t just for farmers and it’s easy to start the process. All you need to do is contact your local NRCS office. Resources Natural Resources Conservation Service NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP): Environmental Quality Incentives Program | Natural Resources Conservation Service (usda.gov) National Payment Schedules: Payment Schedules | Natural Resources Conservation Service (usda.gov). Recommend navigating to individual states and choosing the EQIP link. Definitely overwhelming regarding choices for each practice, which is why working with a local planner is super key.
