Let's Design Your Land: https://www.food-forestry.com/applica... ---------------------------------- Follow Don & Siskiyou Seeds on IG: https://www.instagram.com/siskiyousee... https://www.instagram.com/dontipping/... ---------------------------------- Don Tipping co-founded Siskiyou Seeds in 2009 and has run Seven Seeds Farm - a self-contained, regenerative Biodynamic and Permaculture operation in Oregon's Siskiyou Mountains - since 1997. Having trained directly under permaculture's founders and mentored over 1,000 students since, Don shares his vision for a "Permaculture Jedi Training Academy": a way of teaching resilience skills that go far beyond gardening, and into how we live, build community, and prepare for collapse. ---------------------------------- My Journey (so far): 2018: Graduated in Environmental Science in the US, moved to New Zealand 2019: Began transforming our family orchard into a food forest demo site 2020–2024: Installed countless food forests across New Zealand and beyond 2024: – Created the Fellowship: global food forest community & mentorship program – Traveled through Brazil, Costa Rica, Florida, Australia & Europe documenting world-class syntropic farms – Working on larger-scale farm projects, iwi/indigenous-focused designs, and installations 2025: – Facilitate community training weekends, and hands-on intensive trainings around Australia & New Zealand – Travelling to document cutting-edge agroforestry systems & patterns – Installing modular food forest systems for streamlined implementation, training and scaling – Expanding my network and library of case studies to share what actually works in climates around the world – Supporting a new wave of consultants & landowners through mentorship, documentation, and field-research 🌱 What I’m Doing Today: Still based in New Zealand, I split my time between improving our family farm, training others, consulting internationally, helping bring food forest systems to life. To all aspiring agroforestry practitioners - remember that every challenge is part of your epic journey. Keep pushing forward. You'll either achieve great success or gain invaluable stories. Both outcomes are victories. – Byron
