Oklahoma's forestry division sells native bare-root tree seedlings for $1 each, sold in bundles of 50 per species with a $100 minimum order — so at least 100 trees total. I'm looking for other Oklahomans who want in on a group order to split the actual cost — no markup, true cost split. Pickup is on Fridays in Goldsby, south of Norman.

Orders for 2027 open in October 2026 — plenty of time to plan ahead for next year's garden or conservation planting.

Let's nerd out about this awesome area!

Where are my Mainers at?!

We’ve been working on our food forest for about two years now in Oxford country. Though we’re also looking at land in more northern Maine to start planting now and relocate to after retirement (probably north of Bangor). Anyone local want to try plants and seeds??

Another interest is living foods— I keep sourdough (doesn’t everyone? I still have my first starter, like many, that I began when Covid hit), kefir water, vegan yogurt, tempeh, koji and amazake (from koji, of course).

We’re trying to learn more about a small business idea of making and selling fresh koji and amazake. Would this be viable? Would this make any money? What’s involved in a small business anyway? Would love to hear from anyone with experience in small businesses, farmers’ market sellers or other such things!

My collaborative book, The Power of Permaculture Principles, is out now, available from myself directly if you are in the UK or via the publishers if you are elsewhere. all the relevant links can be found in my linktree https://linktr.ee/wilf.richards

I am having an online launch party / event / QnA on Wed April 22nd 2026 at 7pm. Please join me if you can. Here's the registration link https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/8G10i74nQMS86LabWXzFHA#/registration

the book questions any notion of there being only 12 principles, or any idea that only a handful developed them. I have identified over 40 permaculture teachers who have written about them over four decades, with many inspirations from way back in time too of course. The principles to me now are a living system, evolving as we create our systems and learn more about this planet we find ourselves very attached to

Any help appreciated!

I am currently an environmental science teacher at a high school in northern Indiana. I have been running a garden club which utilizes regenerative practices and the club has been so successful in providing food for our community that the school has allowed me to pilot an agriculture program. I have been gifted 2 acres and have been given the go ahead to teach permaculture and regenerative farming. I am very new to the field and I am looking for assistance with design and advice on the best crop or crops to establish our new farm in its first year. The land has been empty grassland that has been mowed by the school for two decades. Also, if you have any advice on grants that could potentially help us, I would appreciate that as well. Any advice helps! Thanks in advance!
