Our 2027 Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course will be a very special one for us, as it will mark the tenth year of running this course here at Hundred Fruit Farm!
The permaculture design course, or PDC, is an intensive 72-hour internationally recognized permaculture certification. It’s designed to give participants the inspiration and knowledge they need to make a positive change in the world, needed now more than ever. It will give you the skills necessary to design your home/yard/landscape into an ecologically-resilient edible system. For some, it could also be the first stepping stone to a permaculture-related career in design, education, consulting, or regenerative farming.
The course will take place at Hundred Fruit Farm. This is a fully in-person course, so this is designed for people who can commute to and from our farm in Buckingham, PA.
We will be opening the course to registrations very soon – most likely in June 2026! If you want to be notified by email when registrations open, please contact us and we’ll make a note to let you know once the course registrations are live!
