Today\u2019s episode is a new interview with Michael Judd, recorded by Mary Marshall and Andrew Tuttle, of Edge Perma.During this conversation, Michael shares a quick sketch of his background for listeners who aren\u2019t familiar with him and his work, including time at the Bullock\u2019s Permaculture Homestead Brother\u2019s Farm on Orcas Island in Washington State. Michael then leads us through how he came to his permaculture career and how suggestions on how he makes it work for him and his family, from his early days as an edible landscaper and designer to his current role as a nurseryman, educator, and an event planner focusing on regenerative systems and education. Throughout, he shares stories and personal anecdotes as only he can.\nTen years ago, in 2014, I traveled from my home in Pennsylvania and journeyed down to Michael\u2019s family home and homestead to record my first in-person interview, ever, with him, meeting his wife, and his son Wyatt, who was still a babe in arms at the time. Since then, we\u2019ve recorded multiple interviews together, he was a keynote speaker at the Mid-Atlantic Permaculture Convergence, and I\u2019ve attended his Paw Paw festival. Throughout this decade knowing Michael, personally and professionally, what I\u2019ve always loved is his ability to take what he knows, examine where his life is at the moment, decides where he wants to go, and pivots in that direction. However he changes his life he does that with intent, while remaining rooted in his mindset as a permaculture practitioner and the lessons he learned during his time in Nicaragua with Project Bona Fide.\nIf you\u2019re working on the next steps of your journey, I highly recommend listening to Michael\u2019s earlier conversations with me and hear more about his journey. You\u2019ll find numerous useful insights that connect to the ones he shared today, that you can apply to your journey, wherever you want to go.\nResourcesMichael JuddEcologia DesignInstagarm - Permaculture Life (@permacultureninja)Youtube - @permacultureninjaMichael\u2019s BooksFruit Patch iOS AppEarlier Interviews with Michael Judd Edible Landscaping (3.2014)Starting Out and Getting Involved in Permaculture (8.2014)MAPC Keynote Address (8.2016)Honoring the Dead and Holding the Dying: Natural Burial (1.2018)For the Love of PawPaws (9.2019)\nOther Projects and ResourcesProject Bona FideBullock Brother\u2019s HomesteadPunta Mona Center (Stephen Brooks project in Costa Rica)
