The Community-Scale Permaculture Farm
"Josh Trought shows how society can be brought together in harmonious fashion with ecological systems to produce healthy food, close-knit communities, land stewardship, and beauty in a sustainable way. What I love most about the D Acres model is that from the start, their intent was to experiment AND share the learning. That's exactly what this book does, describing the philosophical and historical roots of collective living and permaculture, as well as the day-to-day work of growing and building, all with clear and compelling storytelling. Nothing short of miraculous!" -
Tim Traver, author of Sippewissett
The author's proceeds from sales of this book will be directed to support the ongoing educational programs
and events at D Acres.
The best way to support the D Acres project is to purchase
the book at the farm or on our website.
