Hey there Permafriends,
My name is Fred, and I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona's Lyle Center
for
Regenerative studies. They've got a 15 acre integrated organic
farm and
permaculture landscaping. Bill Roley helped plan much of the
and a few
other professors taught sustainable food production.
Bob Boles trained a few of us in strawbale building techniques
before we
built our greenhouse. It is awesome! Its R55
insulation and passive
solar architecture keep it warm all winter and cool all
summer.
Friends and old roommates have been buying up Victorian homes around
the
school, fitting them with solar panels, growing some food, brewing
beer,
cooperating to shop and recycle, etc. They hold little
workshops. The
info follows.
Please feel welcome to attend! (If you're coming from the San
Diego County
area, I'd appreciate an invitation to carpool. Otherwise, you
can join me
on the train!)
