PermaEthos Summer Workshop is Now Open for Registrations
Come Learn, Trade, Make Lifelong Friendships and Feast With Us.
From June 12-14 we are running an incredible workshop at the Elisha’s Spring PermaEthos Farm in West Virgina. With a bonus one day workshop on the 11th.
The cost of the main workshop is 500 dollars. There is a bonus workshop on the 11th that will cover chicken butchering, hog butchering, rabbit butchering and sausage making on the 11th, if you want to attend that it is an extra 100 dollars.
If you are simply setting up your campsite on the afternoon of the 11th, no need to pay the extra hundred.
Note – Founders your discount of 10% will be given to you at the door when you pay your balance due.
We are only requiring a 100 dollar deposit per ticket to hold your spot, the balance is due on the day you arrive.
Some things this workshop will cover…
This Workshop will include:
- Feasting on Elisha’s Spring chicken, rabbit, duck and pork!
- Constructing a segment of swales with the tractor and plow.
- Laser level usage.
- A-Frame level usage.
- Planting annuals in the swales.
- Grafting instruction from Nick Ferguson
- Misting system overview and setup
- Knife sharpening with Patrick Roehrman
- Mike Vertrees will discuss compost and soils
- Fishing! Bring your poles—we stocked over 500 fish in our silt trap pond last year
- Some yet to be announced bonuses! Some COOL ASS ONES at that!
To get full details and reserve your spot just go to the event page at the PermaEthos Blog.
I am seriously considering attending this. Anyone from the Southern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois area thinking about going too? I’d be nice to carpool.
Will there be a video(s) of the instruction parts of the workshop?
I would really really LOVE to come. Too far away dang it. I will have to save up money and time off work and hope for another one at the right time. Have fun everyone 🙂
Andrew I’m thinking about going I’m in southern wi. Message me in the forums I’m bushman.
Hmmmmm
I may be there
Im in central Massachusetts and considering attending. Anyone interested in carpooling?
Got my spot reserved. See you there!
I’m there…
I don’t have the money to swing this one right now, so I’m going to have to figure out how to bust my butt and pull some major strings because the folks at Elisha’s Spring rock! They had to butcher a rabbit while I was there with the Zello crew, and Brandy was kinda enough to slow things down and let me touch, learn, and help. One of the other Zello folks took a video of the whole thing, and she said she learned so much just by watching a blind person help and ask questions.
Do you think there’d be some sort of advertising advantage? “Come learn from all these great folks, and oh yeah, watch the blind lady that carries a gun work and learn alongside everyone else.” 🙂
Probably a stupid question, but I’ve never been to a TSP event…is camping required? I’m not really setup for it.
Jack
I would like to go and do everything. The extra event when does it start on the 11th.
Never mind just clicked on event page it said to show up on the afternoon or evening of the 10th for the added event.
Anyone coming from the west coast? LA?
White Russian, camping is NOT required. I think they will get a block of rooms at a nearby hotel for attendees
@Hope
My partner is flying in from LAX on June 10, arriving @ 10:30 am. It appears the only way to get to the event is car rental or taxi. I just called C&H Taxi (304-344-4902) and the cost is about $60.
@Carol
Thanks for that information. Taxi is certainly a cheaper option than holding onto a rental car for 4 days.
Hi everyone,
I’ll post information about the closest hotel later today–we reserved a block last event but only had 2 rooms taken, so I’m not sure if it’s worth the trouble. Savings was only about $5/night, and the military and AAA discounts were actually better.
Everyone will be getting a registration packet around June 1 with detailed directions, contact info, etc., and there is a special TSP/PE workshop group that you’ll be added to if you want. You can check with others about sharing a ride instead of renting a car, and it may even be possible to have someone pick you up.
My flight gets in at around 6:30pm on wed. If anyone wants to share a taxi let me know!
Lodging for PE Workshop: LaQuinta – Elkview, WV – $99 – Expires May 27!
As I said above, this rate is probably not as good as the AAA or Military rate. LaQuinta changes their rates based on occupancy, and this is only a $5/night savings.
Ask for “PERMAETHOS” rate (or mention Kevin Keegan if they don’t know!)
Contact information is:
Abby Adams or Angela Davis

@Kevin
I was wondering if those registration packets have gone out yet because I had problems with the online registration but made special arrangements with Josiah.
I’m having trouble printing the registration packet. Are you also sending hard copies?
Yikes, since Hope received her packet and we didn’t, I’m wondering if my partner is registered! We’ve already purchased the airfare.
Carol- did you receive an email from Kevin with info and rules and pages to initial? I got it the other day. Is the registration packet different? I just assumed you were talking about the info in the email.
Hope, I haven’t received anything. That’s why I’m concerned 🙁
Hi Carol,
I thought I had all the e-mail addresses but I might have missed yours because of the arrangement with Josiah. Send me a message at “billing (at) permaethos.com” and I’ll get you one today!
Kevin
Hope, If you can’t get it printed we’ll have one for you when you arrive…
