About us
As we face energy, climate and economic challenges, permaculture offers one of the best "tool kits" for moving in a positive and productive direction: resilient communities full of creative abundance. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, there is some part of permaculture that will make sense for your life and your relationship to the landscape where you live and work. Join us in exploring the possibilities!
We cover topics such as (but not limited to) edible landscapes, gardening, farming, regenerative practices, renewable energy, green building, local currency, rainwater harvesting, composting, mushrooms, local food, forest gardening, herbalism, "green" living, sustainable economic systems, conservation, community-building, relocalization, transition towns, and more!
Also make sure to sign up for the Hudson Valley Permaculture listserv (click here).

A Harvest of Gratitude
1055 Route 32, 1055 NY-32, Rosendale, NY 12472, USA, Rosendale, NY, USBarter and gift economies can develop resilient webs of relationship within our communities. Exchanging Offerings and Needs enriches our connections and may bring new skills, practices or people into our lives. Please write a list of your Offerings & Needs and bring them with you. We will post these on the wall for all to browse.
Harvests are in and permaculture abundance is here. 'Care of People' and 'Fair Share' are 2 of the 3 ethical pillars of permaculture, though it seems 'Care of the the Earth' gets most of the attention. Bring surplus food, herbs or craft items you have stockpiled for winter to put on the Share table. You don't have to bring anything, though snacks are always welcome. No sales or donations are permitted at the Community Center. You may display craft items you are selling elsewhere - as a sort of show & tell.
Permaculture Association of the Northeast (PAN) is in the planning process for a Convergence in 2027. These annual gatherings happened for many years with 200-500 attendees. Offering workshops, inspirational speakers, group dining and a chance to socialize these popular events are the glue that binds the movement together. PAN is seeking new Board members and enthusiastic participants. The next meeting will be held on December 2nd. If you are a PAN member, you will receive the newsletter with updates.
I am incredibly grateful for the nice people I have met through this meetup over the past 7 years. I welcome all members to help organize activities for next year. There is certainly much to respond to in current events, and preparing for multiple potential disruptions seems prudent. Meeting people close-by who are of similar minds has been a great comfort, inspiration and joy for me. There is lots more to share and I am available to talk with those who are interested. Many thanks to organizers and members who have participated. This meetup is open to all. Anyone can become an Organizer and host an event. Please contact me if you are interested.
