Introducing a merit badge program for permaculture and homesteading. It provides structure for aspiring homesteaders to learn, allows them to prove their skills and connects them with older landowners looking for a steward for their property.
Mike Haasl promotes permaculture homesteading and wants more young people to have access to their own land. He teaches, writes and experiments with ways to homestead with a lighter footprint. He lives in northern Wisconsin and tends a big garden, greenhouse and flock of chickens.
