Groups and individuals are welcome to make a booking for a Guided Tour of Janahn Forest Permaculture Farm.  

See the results of 4 years of development.
 
Leo Mahon, Permaculture Designer, will show you how Permaculture Design is restoring degraded farming country into a Highly Productive Drought Tolerant Gardening Orchard and Grazing System.

An evolving evergreen biomass
of diverse plants and animals.

The future of agriculture lies in logical natural design. Systems that mimic natural ecosystems. They are robust, resilient, and highly productive .

Featuring  
How to Eliminate Top Soil Moisture Loss.  
Maximum Natural Soil Fertility
Fungal verses Bacterial Soils.
Drought Proofing by Design.  
Multiple uses of Trees.  
Canopy Tree Systems to Conserve Moisture.
Arid Region Rainforest Timbers.  
Waterfowl & Aquaculture Unit  
White Cedar & Old Man Salt Bush Guilds.  
Cell Gardening. *Cell Grazing.
Useful Plants from the Inland.  
Grazing Poultry & Small Mammals  
Orchard Tree Crops  

You will see how, by utilizing a combination of constructed earthworks & biological processes, that rainfall run off is able to be eliminated.   Rainwater then filters slowly through the ground. Once we control the flow of water over land, soaks are created for the establishment of long term tree crops. You will see how we have selected animal species to suit the plant biomass that is evolving.  

Designed systems such as this one will naturally restore organic carbon and fertility to the soil, increase productivity and counter the effects of Increasing Temperatures & Extended Summer Seasonal Conditions.

Minimum fee $150 inc gst or $50.00 per person whichever is greater. The tour takes 3 hours.
One hour of additional question time is provided.
A light meal of our farm fresh produce is included
