Two Weeks of Hands-On Permaculture and Organic Farm Life...
The site for our course is Four Elements Farm, a Natural Building Learning Center and organic farm nestled in the steep chaparral hills of California's central coast. The farm is also home to 4 Elements Foods and Elemental Herbs. We return for our third year to Four Elements Farm to live the rhythm of farm life and experience hands-on permaculture.

The Mediterranean microclimate allows a wide selection of fruits and vegetables to grow on its 47 acres. Hands-on opportunities on the organic farm and garden abound throughout the course: chickens, beekeeping, composting, fruit tree management, harvesting, planting and more. Learn first hand about earthen and straw bale building, natural clay plastering, biodiesel brewing and organic farming.
