We’re excited to announce a few open spaces in this summer’s Permaculture Design Certification Course– the nation’s leading Farm and Wildlife Immersion PDC.  Centered on Design and Practice, join a diverse group of students from around the country and the world in collaborative design for Real-World Community Projects, hands on at Vermont’s most diverse permaculture farm, research center, and wildlife sanctuary; and gain professional support in developing Designs for Your Own Chosen Projects and Locations!

 Participants range from total ‘newbies’ to practicing architects and landscape architects; sustainability and conservation professionals; farmers, chefs, ‘foodies’, extension agents; activists; homesteaders; and design, ecology, and food-systems students.  Facilitated by a diverse, talented, and most experienced teaching team- we provide a solid, science-based foundation for experiential and experimental ecological design education.   Cutting-edge information, cross-disciplinary techniques, Vermont’s most diverse collection of tree crops, and 21st Century Integration and Systems Thinking bring new territory for even the most experienced practitioners to explore and co-learn with professional peers.  Explore Social Entrepreneurship and Ecological Economics directly in Vermont’s booming sustainability/ agricultural economy.

We design Landscapes, Buildings, Farms, and deliver Educational Events that assist people and communities to cultivate social and ecological health and respond to the confluent crises of the 21st century with resilience, abundance, and ecological regeneration.

We consult with forward-thinking landowners, community organizations, schools, towns, farmers, homesteaders, watershed organizations, land trusts, and others to interpret ecological context and make human-managed ecosystems more connected, beautiful, and productive.  In particular, we assist people in designing the built environment to better grow food, build soil, secure fresh water, harvest the sun, and harmonize with natural communities in very site specific and client tailored ways.  

We are the oldest permaculture design firm specializing in working farms, and our portfolio includes some of the the most successful and innovative farms contributing to the resurging agricultural economy in Vermont and beyond.

We design, build, and implement greenhouses, root cellars, barns, small homes, guest cabins, food processing facilities, and other infrastructure; windbreaks, hedgerows, orchards, nut groves, productive riparian buffers; ponds, paddies, swales, and other regenerative earthworks.

We work out of Northern Vermont with clients throughout the Northeast- from Quebec to NYC and beyond.  While our expertise is in high-performance ecological regeneration, food production, and shelter systems for cold temperate/ arctic conditions, we have designed and implemented systems in New Zealand, Colorado, Chile, Argentina, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nigeria, Ghana, Denmark, and the Netherlands.

-Prospect Rock Permaculture will be incorporating as a ‘Low-Profit, Limited Liability Company ‘(L3C), a legal entity created for socially-responsible businesses which prioritize educational and socially beneficial aims above profit making.-
