🍃 Our farm tour and Intro to Permaculture class will be donation based, all donations going directly to Our Permaculture Farm.
🌸 We will talk about the basics of Permaculture. What is it? How can it help improve your quality of life, and to be more resilient and live more abundantly? We’ll share examples of permaculture design that you can apply to your own life.
🐝 You will learn what plants to use to maximally boost beneficial insects for natural pest control and create abundant wildlife habitats in your own landscape!! Our plant nursery has many native plants that will help you boost production in your garden and food forest!
🥗 Finally, join us for a nutritious and delicious plant-based potluck and enlightening conversations about holistic health!!
🍠 Bring your homemade vegan, raw food, and whole plant based dishes to share with fellow plant-based pioneers. Whether you're new to a plant-based lifestyle or a seasoned vegan, this potluck is a great opportunity to expand your recipe collection and connect with like-minded individuals who value sustainable and compassionate living.
🧊 Make sure to bring a cooler for your dish if you have one!! We have limited fridge space so first come, first serve. Also bring lots of liquids and remember to stay hydrated throughout the day! It will be hot so come prepared :).
🗣️ After enjoying the plant-powered feast, we'll dive into a lively discussion about holistic health. Gain insights into the benefits of organic foods, learn about the latest developments in whole food nutrition, and explore the connections between nutrition and overall wellness. Share your experiences, ask questions, and engage in a supportive community that is passionate about healthy living and caring for the environment.
🌿✨🦋 This event is open to all, including those who are curious about transitioning towards a plant-based diet or those who simply want to connect with others who share similar values. Come join us and be inspired to live a more vibrant, sustainable, and compassionate life through the power of plants.

The Hernando County Homesteading group will host our 3rd SEED SWAP on June 1st, 2024 at Grow Permaculture Farm
This event is open to the public and it is free. There is a Homesteading 101 class offered for a $30 fee, but everything else is free to attend.
1. We are looking for sponsors to contribute to purchasing locally sourced seeds for the swap. The intention is for attendees to bring seeds to share and take some home. We would also like to have a variety of seeds supplied by the sponsors to make the bounty a bit sweeter. We will have signage at the event with Sponsor info, and they can have a vendor spot to sell or display their homesteading-related items. Each Sponsorship cost is $100. A sponsor can contact April at 727-457-3242 via text or email at info@justsourceit.org.
2. Business vendor spots are available to group members on a limited basis for $25 each. Join the Facebook group- Hernando County Homesteading. We have 20 tables available. The vendors must have homesteading, (farming, permaculture, food preservation, safety-related, gardening) items or services to be included. We ask that all vendors have some seeds, plants, and soil to share with attendees at their tables (It will help get people to your tables). You don't have to be an official business to have a vendor spot. We are looking for backyard growers, egg sellers, mushroom foraging, canning, preppers, unpaper towel makers, beekeepers, and more. You can set up a pop-up tent for your booth spot. Contact April to reserve your spot 727-457-3242.
3. The purpose of the SEED SWAP is to share seeds, ideas, plants, and homesteading-related passions with each other. We are building a community of homesteaders! It will be warm, so dress appropriately. The swap tables will be set up under shade.
4. We will be offering farm tours from 9am-1pm to learn more about permaculture growing and using weeds as edible plants. The Farm nursery will be open to purchase organic plants. Try some farm-raised drinks like lemongrass tea and infused water.
5. There will be limited seating for the Homesteading 101 class by April Johnson-Spence. The cost is $30 per person, and 20 spots are available. The class will be in the air-conditioned classroom from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. You must purchase that ticket on this site to get a seat. No refunds will be given, but we will create a waiting list, and you can donate your seat to the next in line if you wish. Please post your questions below or email info@justsourceit.org or text 727-457-3242 with any questions.
