"Went on a permaculture course at the weekend - Di’s such a knowledgeable teacher, she’s the kind of person you’d like to mind-meld with… If you’re interested in sustainability I can only recommend Wild Harvest School of Self-Reliance"

"Had a lovely day learning about Permaculture .... from a smooth transaction to purchase and good instructions of how to find the location, to a warm-friendly welcome that greeted us; first impressions were already great. No matter what your level of knowledge, Di delivers engaging information in a way that captures your mind and leaves you wanting to get home and start creating your own haven of self-reliance. With a lovely cosy cabin to sit and learn, amongst a view where the practical element of Permaculture is becoming evident on the farm; it is a brilliant experience. We are looking forward to booking Foraging next"

"Thank you for yesterday, the day was a really interesting and I am hoping to change a few things in our garden if I can convince my husband. I think the first thing we will do is make a wild area. I will keep checking your site for other events. "

We believe this education should be accessible and aim to price to cover our costs and pay our taxes but also be affordable to you. Sustainable education should not be an elite subject but should be accessible to all. We are not grant funded though so please don't expect us to compete with free temporary initiatives using public money.

Since 2006 eco principles have been at the heart of what we do. It's not a new marketing angle for us; our courses are based upon the original values and lifestyle of our founder who has long lived a life of sustainability and self-reliance.

Some of our F.A.Q
Got a Question...?
Where are you based?
We are based in the rural outskirts of York, 12 miles from the city, but we.do work all over. If you are coming here for your glamping, activities or walks/course then we can be found on Google maps HERE
Can I Bring My Dog?
To the wild food walks yes, well behaved dogs on leads are welcome. To the tipi site... Sorry we love animals but we. have a free range sheep, hens and an old labrador. Plus we have a policy of no animals in the units to keep them feeling fresh and ok for allergy sufferers. We are down the road from Storwood Kennels if you need pet boarding.
What if I Can't Make It?
We know you wouldn't want us to cancel on you and hope that you see we book tutors, organise resources and block time out for bookings so we allow you to sell your space on, or gift it to a friend. Or we can offer you online courses and ebooks instead.
What Areas Do You Cover?
If you want to book us to come to you...Our radius for attended walks, courses and activities bookings is approximately from Newcastle in the North to Nottingham in the South, Hull in the East to Manchester in the West. if in doubt just ask in the chat box or enquiry form.

Over all our time we have not cancelled a single session. If we commit to being there we will be there. I cringe when I see other teaching businesses cancel for personal reasons regularly letting people down and I truly believe in honouring your booking with my effort to get us there.
