Connor's Bio:  Permaculture began to organize Connor's life 3 years ago.  He immediately began putting information into action on his family's 10 acre property. After planting over 300 trees, implementing aquaculture, and other animal systems on the this property, Connor left to go to Geoff Lawton's Zaytuna farm for a PDC and 3 month internship. There he was certified as a teacher, designer, teacher trainer, Aid worker, and natural fertilizer and soil builder, and experienced a multitude of other aspects of establishing permaculture systems. Since returning, he has cofounded the East End Eden Permaculture farm, taught a PDC, and continued to share vital information and permaculture wisdom.
