What Is Permaculture?
Permaculture is a system of agricultural design principles that simulate the features observed in natural ecosystems. It is the inspiration for the name “Perma-Earth”. Read more about us here.
Bill Mollison coined the term “permaculture” in the 1970’s when trying to describe the fact that any permanent human settlement relies on a sustainable environmental system for long-term survival.

What Is Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is a set of holistic land management practices and grazing strategies that seek to restore and enhance the natural resources that are used, rather than deplete them. Regenerative agriculture looks holistically at the agro-ecosystem to build soil health, increase clean and safe water runoff, improve biodiversity and ecosystem resiliency, and increase carbon draw-down. We have seen firsthand the way this approach can restore diverse grasslands, eliminate the need for synthetic fertilizers and chemical herbicides, and improve the nutritional value of meat – all while helping rural economies to thrive. – Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed
