Building a Farm Model with a Regenerative Vision

In This Podcast: Dave Boehnlein studied natural resources and environmental studies at the University of Minnesota which lead him to becoming an educator and leader in permaculture design and implementation. He co-authored the book 'Practical Permaculture' and is now leading a project called Rooted Northwest, a co-housing and regenerative agriculture community in Arlington, Washington. This project aims to combine farmland preservation, community living, and education using a permaculture approach. Rooted Northwest is currently looking for home buyers and social impact investors to join the initiative and help support their mission.

Our Guest: Dave Boehnlein is originally from Wisconsin and found his way to Washington State to learn about permaculture. Now he’s a leader in both permaculture design and education having co-authored the book Practical Permaculture while teaching at Bastyr University and other institutions. When learning about permaculture, he lived at the Bullock’s Permaculture Homestead and got to experience education in both land care and community living. That’s a huge part of his reason for being involved with building Rooted Northwest. He’s super excited to work on regenerative agriculture projects by day and then share meals and play cribbage in the evening!
