Our Services

Seashore & Riparian Restoration

In partnership with the Sarasota Baywatch Foundation, we are working on restoring some of Sarasota Bay's most vulnerable shoreline to its ideal state: covered in mangroves. We are passionate about the protection of Florida's coastline, and we have studied mangrove habitats and their conservation. Do you have some shoreline on your property that you'd like to see restored to its natural state? We'd be honored to help you harmonize these terrestrial and aquatic habitats. 

Permaculture

Permaculture, standing for "permanent agriculture," is a philosophy of growing food (and indeed, living) as closely aligned to the Earth's natural cycles as is possible. In so doing, it is possible for our food-production systems to actively benefit and steward the environment around them. While the term "permaculture" came out of Australia in the last half-century, its core concepts and tenants have been practiced by Indigenous cultures all over the world since time immemorial. 

Carbon Farming

Did you know that planting trees can help directly offset climate change? Plants are able to transform CO2 from the atmosphere into a stable form of carbon stored in the soil. With our abundant sunshine and warm climate, we can make an actual, tangible difference in our local carbon cycle by adopting carbon-smart planting practices.

Healthy soil and water for all 

Ecological issues are inherently wrapped up in, tied to, and part of the greater social context in which we live, and vice-versa. We are committed to listening to and learning from the wealth of thinker and activists involved in social justice movements. Already, communities are bearing the brunt of impacts from climate change and ecological disaster in very unequal ways, and without attention and direct action, this disparity will only grow.

Fermentation 

Bringing greater diversity to the ecosystem isn't only an external process.  Allying yourself with the beneficial microbes that are everywhere around us and enriching your diet with properly fermented foods is the best way to begin this transformation. Let us teach you how!
