Permaculture in Michigan – Farms, Centers, Events, and Individuals of the Michigan Permaculture Community
When I first discovered permaculture back in 2011 I had no idea that there was already a thriving community of quiet revolutionaries in my home state of Michigan. The michigan permaculture scene has blossomed in just these last few years spawning it’s own annual Michigan Permaculture Convergence as well as many education sites, farms, homesteads, and more. (Are we missing someone? Let us know!)
Permaculture has a tendency to umbrella all things within it; natural building, sustainable design, renewable energy, local organic farms, etc all working toward the same goals. I tried to focus on groups that explicitly use the label “Permaculture” for what they do, so just keep in mind it’s not an exclusive list!
