Factor E Farm Site Plan

Permaculture Site Plan Logistics
Permaculture is a ecological design methodology based on a set of core principles and values that Open Source Ecology shares. Its primary application is to generate best practices for environmental site analysis and ecological site plan design but is also used to design ecological systems in general.


 * idea 1: host a permaculture course at the Factor e Farm and have the course practicum be a site plan for Factor e Farm
 * idea 2: host an individual permaculture designer in exchange for food, board and fame
 * User:Liam.rattray volunteers to do conduct an on-site environmental analysis and provide a comprehensive site plan for FeF over a week from 3/20/10 to 3/28/10 in exchange for cooperation in constructing a modified CEB press.
