Siskiyou Seeds offers Permaculture Intensives throughout the year. Permaculture Intensives are generally 3 days long and take place at Siskiyou Seeds in WIlliams, Oregon. Delicious organic meals from the farm, camping, showers, instruction, handouts, field trips and a deeply nourishing dive into co-creating regenerative culture are included. If you're not sure you  want to camp Siskiyou Seeds is a 30 minute drive from Grants Pass. There are also some Airbnb's in our region including the Pond House at Pacifica (a 420 acre local land trust) where a group of students could comfortably stay together. It's also very possible to commute from Medford or Ashland.  

WATER SYSTEMS WEEKEND INTENSIVE June 9-11, 2023

Come learn how to "Be the Beavers" and the art and science of directing and securing water for smart use in this 3 day weekend workshop focused upon designing water systems for a permaculture homestead/small farm or mini-farm.

Don Tipping is the lead instructor who brings over 30 years experience in organic farming, seeds, permaculture and enthusiastic on-farm education. 

In many areas of the Pacific Northwest the climate is a combination of a winter rainforest and a summer desert. It is incredibly valuable to to catch and store water when it's abundant for use when it's scarce. Siskiyou Seeds is in it's 23rd year of intensive co-development with our environment and we would love to share our water catchment and planting strategies for climate resilience.

HOMESTEAD WEEKEND INTENSIVE April 28-30, 2023

Many people aspire to have a simple 1/2 acre permaculture homestead for their family, with food forests, fruit trees, berries, outdoor living systems with a fire pit, sauna, hot tub, cob oven, chickens, shade structures, water catchment, compost making, and so on. This course includes a design charrette involving participants in the assessment and design of a renewal of a neighboring homestead that has fallen into disrepair. 

This course is an excellent opportunity to both see an established example of the Permaculture dream and participate in the early stages of an emergent one as well.

We'll attempt to answer the central question: "What is the ideal human living environment?"
