August 8, 2023 - We did it, we wrote our first major book!
This book is a labor of love that gathers a decade of experience in growing what we as a family at Sun And Bloom Farms are enjoying to manage and continue to develop - a small scale diversified regenerative farm and homestead that works. Here, we grow nutrient dense food and medicine with regenerative practices for the market and train the next generation of earth and people centered permaculture designers, homesteaders and farmers. It supports the health of our minds, bodies and spirit, and overflows its abundance to heal the local ecosystems and community.
We built our farmstead from scratch, meaning we had no starting financial capital when we first conceived it individually, sometime over a decade ago, and then as a unit, about 5 years ago. We still remember the day we sat in our garage in San Clemente, only a few months after dating, and jotted down on a big white board our vision for our farmstead and life together. We followed through and most of it is a reality now! In the process we learned what works and what does not to achieve the permaculture farm and homestead dream. We are sharing that learning in a practical and easy to read and replicate format.

This book can be read in two ways. Mainly, it presents a flexible and customizable roadmap to building an enjoyable, manageable and profitable small scale farmstead, starting from any existing context. It can be read from the first page to the last and be used as a step by step manual. It can also be used as a reference guide, and any chapter and topic can be read individually, without the context of the entire book. We designed it this way with the understanding of who our readers may be: an individual or a family that has little to no experience and financial capital to start a homestead and farm but want to; or an individual or a family that has land, some or a lot of experience and farmsteading things going already and want to develop their regenerative resilience further. Either way, this book is infinitely helpful to people excited by permaculture regenerative farming and homesteading.
The book will be ready to read digitally by the first or second week of January 2024 and printed by the first week of February 2024! The content is written, yet we need professional help with digital and print formatting, pictures, proofreading, reviews, copyrights, marketing and a few other details. So we are inviting you to pre-order and help us crowdfund this infinitely valuable resource in the realms of permaculture, homesteading, small scale farming, and regenerating our shared ecosystems and communities. The pre-order numbers will help us gauge interest and prepare our marketing for pre-sales and next year. Ordering it now will help us decide on the publisher also, and we would love to support a publisher that is 100% aligned with our values. |
10% of each book sold will go to a fund for scholarships for our courses and 5% will go to a fund to kickstart a program that provides micro-loans and/or grants to beginning permaculture farmsteaders (we will share about that project at a later time). Order now and receive a 25% off coupon for The Permaculture Farmstead Design Course that starts on November 1st 2023 (will be announced shortly). The coupon is transferable to any one individual you want to gift it to also, and it is available to the first 100 purchases only.
