Living On A Few Acres - Permaculture & Risk Management Sept. 12 Penn State Extension Webinar

The Penn State Extension will hold a September 12 webinar on Living On A Few Acres - Permaculture & Risk Management from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Permaculture involves the designed use of land to maximize sustainability, functionality, and permanent systems. 

This involves a holistic assessment and planning of the piece of land in question and of the people who will be living on that land. 

If your goal is to develop a profitable business, then developing a marketing plan can guide your efforts to attract, engage, and retain customers. 

By developing and executing your marketing plan effectively, you can drive sales, increase revenue, and ultimately make money on a few acres.

In this workshop, we'll discuss the core principles of permaculture and holistic farm design. 

Topics will include specific practices that are relevant for homestead and farm-scale operations. 

University of Maine Extension Professor Jason Lilley will present this session on permaculture.
