In this episode of the Millennial Pioneers Podcast, we are so excited to be interviewing Casey Pfeifer on the topic of permaculture. As I discussed this upcoming interview with my husband one morning and what exactly I would ask Casey about permaculture, my sweet 8-year-old son Bennett innocently asked from across the room…
“What is permaculture?” Yes… let’s start there.
What is permaculture, and why is it so incredibly important for us to learn about it and start implementing now. Why it is important for us to take responsibility for our own lives, and to be able to think far enough ahead about the lives of our children.
