The Shortcut to Learning Permaculture and DIY Skills

 

There are a ton of permaculture and DIY tutorials out there.

Learning permaculture can be overwhelming and you never know if the person teaching on a blog or random video is actually an expert, or if they just watched a YouTube video and are simply repeating the information in that video.

So if you don't want to waste your time learning from people who don't really know what they are talking about, then these courses are probably for you.

They teach you only what you need to know, through instructional videos. Every class is taught by a proven expert. 

On top of that, this is one of the best deals in permaculture education.

Seriously.

I don't know of anywhere else that you can get this much expert permaculture and related technology education, for such a low price.

So if you want to jumpstart your permaculture education with tutorial videos, then here's what you'll get…

Note: This is a third party affiliate product and not an IronCabin creation. We occasionally feature high-quality products from industry experts to give you the best education possible. You will be taken to the Permies website to purchase. Permies is 100% responsible for all content and payments. 

Just Like Attending an In-Person Workshop…at a Fraction of the Cost

The material in these courses is the same educational content that's taught in the legendary Wheaton Labs in-person workshops.

If you attended the 14-day course, it would cost you about $2,500. Probably more nowadays with inflation and all.

You would also have to block off 14 straight days to stay at the Labs.

But if you purchase these online courses, you'll get the exact same educational content, at a fraction of the price. You are also free to learn at your own pace because you can watch the videos at any time. 

It's a cost-effective and flexible way to get a world-class education in permaculture and homestead technology, from people who are actually living it. 

Who This is For

Even if you have decades of farming/homesteading experience, these courses can teach you a few new skills that will help you streamline your operations and live more comfortably.

The biggest benefit you'll get out of these courses is the skill of thinking like a designer.

But if you're just getting started, this is also a great course for you too. The first couple of days will give you the background you need to catch up to more experienced homesteaders.

What You'll Get
