href="http://miloneandmacbroom.com">Milone & MacBroom, Inc</a>. are collaborating on a project with the town of Hamden Connecticut to envision the potentials for reuse of a former farm. This project is funded by a grant from the state Department of Agriculture. Agriculture has deep roots in Hamden, with orchards in this location appearing on maps sinceÂ 1852. The former Maselli Farm remained in agricultural use even as neighboring farmland was rapidly developed into suburban communities. Now this 33-acre tract of land is one of the last remaining open spaces in the community.</p> <p>Residents in the neighborhoods adjoining Maselli Farm have tenaciously pursued maintaining this land as open space. AÂ <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.nhregister.com/general-news/20150325/hamden-residents-weigh-in-on-uses-for-maselli-farm-site');" href="http://www.nhregister.com/general-news/20150325/hamden-residents-weigh-in-on-uses-for-maselli-farm-site">community meeting</a> drew a large crowd eager toÂ offer their ideas about what Maselli Farm should become. Most people advocated for either a public open space, a working farm, or a blend of the two. Our role is now to reconcile the most popular ideas into a plan that makes sense socially, ecologically, and financially.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1730 " src="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-2.49.10-PM-e1446690458100.png" alt="" width="530" height="298" />Maintaining open space and farmland in our towns and cities provides many benefits. Recreational opportunities positively impact people’s emotional and physical health, while contact with trees and living systems has a profound impact on mental well-being. Children who spend moreÂ time in “green” settings have reduced symptoms of ADHD and higher test scores. The living systems provide numerous “ecosystem services” such as cleaning the air, infiltrating water and reducing runoff, cooling the community, and bolstering local biodiversity. The land base can also be utilized to grow food and other products to be consumed locally in a way that builds local economic resiliency and improves food security.</p> <p>In this design,Â a forested buffer around the edges of the site offers wildlife habitat and other ecosystem services while also creating a bufferÂ for the surrounding neighborhoods. A swath through the center of the site becomes a native grass and wildflower meadow, providing ecological diversity and granting visitors impressive views across the site and into the distance. AÂ largeÂ area is dedicated to agricultural activities, while other areas host community gardens, a gathering pavilion, and spaces of outdoor learning. The historic barn is renovated and serves as an anchor for cultural activities and a window into Hamden’s history. A trail system connectsÂ neighborhoods throughÂ the site and allows users to experience the diversity of ecosystems, terrain, and uses that the site has to offer.</p> <p><a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Maselli_Design_Phase3_1511201.jpg" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.appleseedpermaculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Maselli_Design_Phase3_1511201.jpg');" data-slb-active="1" data-slb-asset="1475682519" data-slb-internal="0" data-slb-group="1632"><img class="wp-image-1776 aligncenter" src="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Maselli_Design_Phase3_1511201.jpg" alt="Maselli_Design_Phase3_151120" width="622" height="459" /></a></p> <p>Wouldn’t yourÂ neighborhood benefit from a productive community green space?

At the time, many gardeners summed up that movement as the ideas of â€œa few crazies,â€ Hendricks recalled in a February lecture in Boston for New England Grows. â€œBut now that fringe group has become almost mainstream.â€</p> <p>Similarly, â€œPermaculture…may be on the fringe now, but it is coming into its own.â€</p> <p>In Maine, the permaculture boom is already here.</p> <p>The Resilience Hub, a nonprofit group in Portland promoting permaculture design, has 1,700 members, holds 50 to 60 events a year and helps people translate the principles of permaculture design to their homes, said Lisa Fernandes, the director who helped found the group in 2005. For one annual event, the â€œpermablitz,â€ Hub members and others spend a day transforming someoneâ€™s property into a permaculture site.</p> <p>Fernandes defined permaculture as â€œa design method based on ecological patterns. It is something you use rather than something you do.â€</p> <p>Ethan C. Roland of AppleSeed Permaculture in Stone Ridge, N.Y., who also lectured at New England Grows, defined it a little differently. â€œPermaculture design mimics the diversity, stability and permanence of natural systems,â€ he said.</p> <p>What do these definitions mean in practise?</p> <p>Permaculture, which is a contraction for â€œpermanent agriculture,â€ attempts to minimize the outside elements brought onto a property, such as energy, water and raw materials from distant places. It also works to minimize the waste that leaves the property. It encompasses composting, rooftop solar panels, rainwater collection and vegetable gardens. A favorite vegetable garden mix among permaculture practioners is the so-called â€œthree sisters,â€ the combination of crops that native tribes taught the Pilgrims to plant â€“ corn, pole beans, and squash. The plants work together, and they make efficient use of space; the beans climb the corn, and the squash keeps the weeds down and the roots cool. These three happen to be native plants, but users of permaculture are more interested in how useful plants are than where they come from. They will grow native fruits, such as blueberries, elderberries and the paw paw tree, and non-natives, such Chinese chestnuts, which are resistant to chestnut blight; apple and peach trees, which have been grown in America for generations but are not native, and the Siberian pea shrub, which produces in a small space and improves the soil. Animals have a role to play in permaculture, too. Chickens, for example, provide eggs (and perhaps meat) for eating, as well as manure to fertilize the soil. They eat ticks that can spread disease and help mix up ingredients in the compost pile.</p> <p>â€œWhen you walk into a well-designed permaculture garden, all the elements clearly work together,â€ â€ Fernandes said. â€œThere is biological diversity and a really heavy yield, whether that yield is food, flowers or herbs. There is a palpably different level of energy.â€</p> <p>Roland believes the Earth is sick, with climate change causing ever more storms, and many species going extinct or disappearing from their traditional ranges.</p> <p>â€œSustainable is not enough,â€ he said. â€œWe have to go beyond sustaining to increasing the health of ecological systems. We need to heal the damage that has been done.â€</p> <p>You can start on that important work yourself by employing the practices of permaculture at your home. And you could well be part of the next big trend.</p> <p>To schedule a consultation with AppleSeed Permaculture and get started, <a title="Contact" href="http://appleseedpermaculture.com/about/contact/">contact us</a> now.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links">Posted in</span> <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/category/edible-landscaping/" rel="category tag">Edible Landscaping</a>, <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/category/permaculture-design/" rel="category tag">Permaculture & Design</a> </span> <span class="sep"> | </span> <span class="tag-links"> <span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links">Tagged</span> <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/tag/agriculture/" rel="tag">Agriculture</a>, <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/tag/appleseed/" rel="tag">appleseed</a>, <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/tag/design/" rel="tag">design</a>, <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/tag/earth/" rel="tag">earth</a>, <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/tag/garden/" rel="tag">garden</a>, <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/tag/gardening/" rel="tag">gardening</a>, <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/tag/permaculture/" rel="tag">Permaculture</a>, <a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/tag/sustainable/" rel="tag">sustainable</a> </span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-1080" class="post-1080 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-edible-landscaping category-permaculture-design tag-ecosocent tag-socent tag-advanced-permaculture tag-advanced-permaculture-training tag-appleseed tag-business tag-design tag-eco-social-entrepreneurship tag-ecological tag-economics tag-education tag-holistic-management tag-hudson-river-valley tag-internship tag-jobs tag-learn-permaculture tag-ny tag-nys tag-permaculture tag-permaculture-courses tag-professional-permaculture tag-social-enterprise tag-social-entrepreneurship tag-training"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/appleseed-permaculture-internship-2013/" rel="bookmark">AppleSeed Permaculture Internship 2013</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/appleseed-permaculture-internship-2013/" title="3:54 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2013-05-14T15:54:59+00:00">May, 2013</time></a><span class="by-author"> <span class="sep"> by </span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/author/jobs/" title="View all posts by jobs" rel="author">jobs</a></span></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <h2><em style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">WORLD-CLASS PERMACULTURE & SOCIAL ENTERPRISE TRAINING</em></h2> <p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-112" title="ASP_Internship" src="http://regenerativedesigns.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/ecr_christian01.jpg" alt="ASP_Internship" width="500" height="334" srcset="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ecr_christian01.jpg 640w, http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ecr_christian01-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />In a Nutshell â€“ </strong>AÂ three-month internship with AppleSeed Permaculture, a cutting edge regenerative design firm based in the mid-Hudson River Valley of New York, USA.

They will be working closely with the architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure that the development is in keeping with Bethanyâ€™s rural character and community values as well as being consistent with the townâ€™s Plan for Conservation and Development. Initial response from neighbors and local citizens has been positive.</p> <p>The property was previously approved for a 48-unit senior affordable housing development that would have occupied the entire site with suburban-style homes, lawns, and driveways. Green Havenâ€™s vision is for fewer, smaller units clustered around a large common facility, the activities hub of the community.</p> <p>The multi-generational, family-oriented community will feature private and community gardens as well as small-scale farming, in a pedestrian-friendly layout that encourages healthy interaction. The shared common house may include amenities such as a large kitchen and eating space, childrenâ€™s playroom, craft rooms, and a woodworking shop, allowing individual residences to be comfortable yet small and inexpensive to maintain.</p> <p><a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/http://www.centerbrook.com/');" href="http://http://www.centerbrook.com/" target="_blank">Centerbrook Architects</a>â€”nationally known for their beautiful, sustainable, energy-efficient buildingsâ€”will be the project architects. They will be working with <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.appleseedpermaculture.com');" href="http://www.appleseedpermaculture.com" target="_blank">AppleSeed Permaculture</a> on the plan, with most of the site to be kept as open space for farming, conservation, and recreation.</p> <p>There are more than 200 cohousing neighborhoods nationwide, but Green Havenâ€™s will be the first in Connecticut. Cohousing is a form of intentional community in which families own private homes and participate in the communityâ€™s consent-based self-governance and, if they choose, in community activities.</p> <p>The Green Haven group has been working for several years to find a site where they can develop their community, and securing the option on the Meyers Rd. property is a major step forward. Their intention is to live as sustainably as possible, with a low carbon footprint, low-impact design, and significant on-site food production. They intend also to participate fully in the wider Bethany community as good neighbors.</p> <p>For more information on cohousing, visit <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.cohousing.org');" href="http://www.cohousing.org" target="_blank">www.cohousing.org</a>.

and grow with for the next 1-10 years?Â Would you like to start an agricultural enterprise or educational farm without the challenges of purchasing land? Appleseed Permaculture is glad to announce our new project,Â <strong>AppleSeed Land Managers</strong>.</p> </div> <div></div> <div>We match <strong>land owners</strong> (individuals, families, land trusts, retreat centers, schools, companies etc.) who want to</div> <div> <ul> <li>Grow food</li> <li>Build community</li> <li>Regenerate their local ecosystems</li> </ul> </div> <div>With <strong>land managers</strong> (individuals, couples, and families) who want to</div> <div> <ul> <li>Grow food, community, & local ecosystems</li> <li>Build their skills and experience with land management Â & eco-agriculturalÂ enterprises</li> <li>Develop long-term relationships with the land and local professional network</li> </ul> </div> <div> <p>Essentially, we build symbiotic relationships that put people on the land and generate multiple forms of capital for everyone involved. Â Land managers will receive compensation for their services, and land owners will achieve returns on their investments in financial, material, living, social, or cultural forms of capital. We are building this match-making service to meet the parallel unmet needs weâ€™ve encountered among our design clients, our students, and our colleagues in the permaculture and organic farming communities. We invite you to be among the first people who try a new approach to meeting property management and development needs by engaging in the <strong>AppleSeed Land Managers</strong> process.</p> </div> <div> <p>The types of people weâ€™d like to engage as land managers are bright eyed, bushy-tailed, self-starter, situationally aware, go-get-â€˜em, positive, grateful, dependable, perseverant, clear-communicating, whole-systems thinking, and committed to personal growth and development. They have specific experience in permaculture, organic farming, or social entreprenurship. As of Spring 2012, we are looking to find one couple or family and two individuals (one farmer and one farm educator) to fill specific positions in the northeast USA.</p> </div> <div></div> <div> <div>Hereâ€™s what will happen if you meet the criteria above and would like to get involved:</div> <div> <ul> <li>You submit a resume and online application</li> <li>We conduct a preliminary phone interview with you</li> <li>We conduct an in-person interview with you</li> <li>We invite you to join Appleseed Permaculture for trial work day(s)</li> <li>We give you specific feedback and ask you to re-apply in the future</li> <ul> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>OR</li> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> <li>We invite you to join our Land Managers Network!</li> </ul> </div> <div></div> <div><img title="IMG_5302shrunk" src="http://appleseedpermaculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_5302shrunk-e1332873986675-768x1024.jpg" alt="" width="584" height="778" /></div> <div></div> <div> <p>Once youâ€™re fully enrolled in our network, we will work with you to discover and outline your specific wants and preferences regarding land and a relationship with a land owner. From then on, we will pursue contacts with land owners on your behalf until we find a prospective match for you! Â Finally, we will support you in the process of forming new relationships with the land and the land owners. This includes:</p> </div> <div> <ul> <li>Understanding and developing a well-articulated vision and plan for the land</li> <li>Business planning for eco-agricultural enterprises</li> <li>Creating
