Paradise Permaculture Institute (PPI) is bringing in Mark Shepard, an internationally known expert in creating commercial-scale perennial agricultural ecosystems, to Livingston, MT, September 6-8, 2024. Mark’s innovative systems of water management have been used around the world.

PPI would like to share this opportunity with as many people as possible in Montana since this system has been a great example for farmers (and really any size grower!) to deal with increasingly erratic weather patterns, to feed humanity, and revitalize the earth at the same time. If this economically sound model could only save one small farm in Montana, support market gardens and countless gardeners, the expense of bringing him is well worth it!
