How Do We Do It?

Permaculture

A set of design principles for developing agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient by directly utilizing the patterns and resilient features observed in natural ecosystems.

Main tenants include Caring for the Earth, Caring for People and Fair Share

Caring for Earth

Provision for all life systems to continue and multiply. This is the first principle because without a healthy earth, humans cannot flourish.

Basically, we are going to do our best to take care of the land we are using.

Caring for People

Provision for people to access those resources necessary for their existence.

We're going to grow food for people, but we're also going to lessen other burdens for them as well.

Transforming turfed lawns into production food crops will provide landscape management and rain water runoff management for property owners.

Resources once used for caring and maintaining turf can now be reallocated:


• 40 hours per year of landscape maintenance saved
• $500 annual expense nullified (not counting irrigation)
• As a non-profit, the value of land leased to us is tax deductible

Fair Share

The third tenant is referred to as Fair Share, which reflects that each of us should take no more than what we need before we reinvest the surplus.

Property Owners, Tenants, neighbors and the rest of the Community
What we grow using the resources we have is for everyone.

SPIN Farming

Our model/method used is a small plot intensive farming technique that is

• Production Based
• Low Capital Intensive
• Environmentally Friendly
• Close to Markets
• Scalable

Traditionally, SPIN farming is an urban method of farming that uses small plots of land found in backyards, urban lots and even rooftops.

Donations & Sales

We donate and sell what we grow.

What we sell buys what we sow and helps toward covering operational expenses.
