About Us

Perma Vida Foundation is cultivating a thriving world by empowering regenerative communities and resilient ecosystems.

Our primary aim is to catalyze the development of publicly-accessible community food forests, nurseries for fruit trees and support species, seed banks, tool-sharing libraries, alternative schools, and wellness centers. Applying the principals of permaculture, we propagate healthy human foods while naturally restoring topsoil, watersheds, and ecosystems. Our skill-sharing workshops bring students and teachers of all ages together to learn, heal, grow, and thrive.

We support other organizations and projects that are aligned with our values, ​​and by documenting our efforts, we co-create resources for homesteaders and ecovillages around the world.
