Visiting a permaculture farm is by far the BEST way to learn about permaculture. Whether it´s participating in an intro course, a PDC, or just volunteering, you are guaranteed to leave with loads of valuable, practical information, and skills. Permaculture is something that is learned through experience. No amount of articles or youtube videos can compare to putting your hands in the dirt and practicing it. There are a number of permaculture farms that I am aware of which I will list below, along with short descriptions, and whether I have personally been there or not. Enjoy!!
