W.W. Full-Circle Homestead Tour
Come experience a full-circle self-sufficient homestead in person with a guided tour, Q&A, and practical information you can take home to start planning your homestead.
What does full circle mean? Full circle is the term that expresses how our homestead gardens, animals, and wildlife areas all work together to create a self-sufficient homestead.
The Tour & What is Included:
- $100 per person, with a $50 add-on available for one additional person. Limited spots are available to keep the tour as personal as possible.
- The tour is estimated to last approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. You will receive a comprehensive homestead tour, following the permaculture technique zones that create our full-circle homestead. In each zone, we will discuss the practical applications of methods used in that area, along with their rationale.
- Garden zones encompass annual and perennial gardens, patio-raised bed gardens, herbal gardens, and pollinator gardens.
- Our system includes egg-laying chickens, ducks, meat chickens, vermiculture, natural wildlife, and dairy goats. We will discuss the multiple benefits of each animal and how they contribute to the homestead.
- Composting and water catchment systems.
- Mistakes to avoid: We've found that certain materials and equipment work best.
- How we are creating functioning, self-sufficient, and beyond-organic ecosystems.
What You Will Get:
- You will receive a Wildwood Wonder Homestead: Full Circle 101 Homestead take-home information packet, which will include detailed information covering all the topics discussed during the tour. *If you have an add-on person attending with you, only one packet will be provided.
