The Humboldt Permaculture Guild (HPG) is a community of food producers, business owners, builders, educators, permaculture designers, Earth and seed stewards, and engaged community members. We share a commitment to resilient homes and communities, regenerative living, community education, stewardship of natural systems, local seed development, natural and appropriate building practices, efficient and productive use of water and energy, and thoughtful, holistic approaches to living and problem-solving. Permaculture provides an accessible and empowering framework for the individual and cultural changes needed to address environmental and social challenges. Our work focuses on resilience, adaptation, meeting basic needs (food, water, shelter, and community), understanding natural patterns and relationships, and creating models that inspire and support others. The Humboldt Permaculture Guild provides opportunities for connection, collaboration, and action. We host social gatherings and educational events, build a flexible, productive guild structure, partner with complementary organizations, support the design and implementation of permaculture initiatives, and educate, inspire, and mobilize our community toward a more regenerative future.

We had a blast checking out Marlon’s amazing garden today! Every structure served multiple functions and every gutter had a rain barrel underneath. The kiwis were absolutely dripping off the vine, and the pears, huckleberries, autumn olives, and golden raspberries were abundant. What an inspiration! Thanks for having us Marlon Gil 🧡

Thanks for having us!

For our last Garden Gathering of the season, you are invited to Rainshine Permaculture Homestead & Nursery!

Come on by Oct. 11 to check out how Marlon Gil (with the help of the Humboldt Permaculture Guild and its members!) turned this small piece of land into a modern day food forest over the last 15 years.

Previously a historical homestead on 3/4 of an acre that had been severely neglected for many years, Rainshine Permaculture is now a thriving permaculture paradise. Today, they grow a large variety of climate appropriate edible plants, many of which you can find (along with surplus fruit) at their stand at the Arcata Farmer’s Market, as well as raising free range egg-laying hens.

In addition to growing food, this inspiring homestead is open to the public and is used to host a variety of educational lectures, tours and workshops throughout the year, including our final Garden Gathering!

Don’t miss this opportunity to see Permaculture in practice!

Looking for a way to contribute locally? Help build a more resilient region by joining the Humboldt Permaculture Guild Board!

Did you know that the Humboldt Permaculture Guild is an entirely volunteer-run organization?
In addition to our amazing volunteers who aid in everything from putting on workshops to making the annual Seed, Plant & Scion Exchange, the HPG Board of Directors is responsible for all that is needed to ensure we can continue providing expansive community experiences to build a healthier redwood bioregion for all—and YOU are invited to be part of it!

The HPG Board meets monthly, with members asked to commit to a three-year seat. Beyond the monthly meetings, members typically contribute 1-4 hours per month to activities such as event support, communications, fundraising, admin, and all the things needed to keep a non-profit going.

While Board members bring a variety of skills and experience to the table, we are specifically looking to fill the role of Treasurer and are in great need of a dedicated Grant Writer. Folks with backgrounds in general fundraising and planning or leading workshops are also highly encouraged to apply. Permaculture knowledge is, of course, a plus!

Have a direct hand in building this organization and all we can do for our community and planet by being part of it!

Sound like something you are interested in being part of?
Go to humboldtpermaculture.org to apply.

Thank you for your interest in serving on the HPG Board!
