A whole systems approach
It is essential to think and work in whole systems to be successful, especially in the long term. We look to the natural world and it's elegantly constructed ecosystems as model for design. This design methodology is known as Permaculture.

Designing with nature
Why do we design with nature? Ecosystems are tested every moment of every day in real time and under real world conditions for millennia. What can beat that? These patterns that can be observed in ecosystems give us insight to ways to better design not only our landscapes and food systems but also our economics and sanitation systems and so much more. Who knew? We apply this reason to our work, our business, and our lives which in turn allows us to be more efficient and effective than other design companies. Diversity is key to resiliency so it is no questions why our team has a purposefully diverse skill set. Instead of competing, we merge all of our experience and knowledge together as a system to design from inspiration to realization for you!

PERMACULTURE
Permanent + culture = A design methodology which utilizes ecosystems as the model for creating holistic, integrated systems of food production, appropriate technology, economic exchange, and community organization in ways that are not merely sustainable, but are regenerative.

Economy of Community
One of the ways we can mimic nature it to create an Economy of Community. Nature is designed for balance for give and take. And so should our economy. We take pride in our community and the abundance of Sonoma County. Our business is built on it. Not only is our business considered "green" because we steward the land, we also make conscious, measurable efforts to be stewards of our community, especially those without access to the work we do. We give back through educational outreach, utilizing other local businesses, and paying a fare wage. We are so passionate about the work we do that we founded our sister organization, Community Soil Foundation Business isn't just business.
