Farm Lab Courses
The farm, as laboratory.
Applied permaculture and ecological system design, from agro-ecology to appropriate technology: animal systems, soil building and propagation, learned hands-on on a working farm.
Practical work, three ways in.
Farm Lab applies permaculture and ecological system design to the working farm itself, on real beds, animals and soil rather than a design brief on paper.
Animal systems
Livestock woven into the farm's design, from pigs to dairy cattle, cared for as part of the working systems above ground.
Soil & compost
Building living soil through composting and mulch systems that feed back into the food forest.
Propagation
Raising the next planting from seed and cutting, mulched in early and given a head start in the nursery beds.
Farm Lab courses return to the calendar as the school grows back; see what is running now in the full course catalogue.
Part of a bigger picture.
Farm Lab is one strand of Daruma's teaching, returning as the school grows back. Two ways to go further from here.
