“Travis played a pivotal role in the reforestation of our permaculture education center, Finca Fruition, now known as Selva del Sol. His dedication during his stays with us was instrumental in transforming the pasture lands that we took stewardship of.
Travis’s passion and commitment to re-gardening this planet are empowered by his many years practicing his trade at countless farms around Latin America. I know many of the other farm owners that he’s worked with and he deserves the excellent reputation he’s earned.
Studying with Travis goes beyond learning land management skills; it’ll guide you to a connection with the plants and the planet that’ll forever change the way you relate with the world around you. If you’re considering learning from him, trust your instincts. You’ll have made a wise decision.”

“Travis Britzke is a highly knowledgeable weaver of many talents. His understanding of permaculture and his cultural sensitivities make him an incredible guide on your journey of understanding regenerative living. He is a joy to be around. Bringing humility, humor and wisdom to any conversation he graces. I highly recommend him!”

“Recuerdo con cariño que cuando conocí Travis era el primer extranjero practicando Permacultura que estaba realmente integrando a la comunidad Tica y viviendo la esencia de la permacultura. Admiro un montón su trabajo. Sabe muchas cosas que son realmente útiles basado en la experiencia, no solo aprendido por youtube o de libros. I fondly remember that when I met Travis he was the first foreigner practicing Permaculture who was truly integrating the Tica community and living the essence of permaculture. I admire his work a lot. He knows a lot of really useful things based on experience, not just learned from YouTube or books.”

“When we moved to CR, I had no knowledge of permaculture whatsoever – I just knew I wanted to plant food. Travis helped us evaluate the viability of a piece of land before we even purchased it, then held our hand through the entire process of design, sourcing trees, and installation. His knowledge of where to place different plants (depending on sun exposure, which direction the hill is facing, taking into account water saturation from runoff patterns, views, etc) was invaluable to the success of the project. Besides the tangible help of design and project management, Travis was also a great introduction to the ways of life here in CR and a patient example to help transition our understanding/expectations from the very “States-based” mindset that doesn’t serve anyone too well in the jungle! Recommended with all my heart.”

“Travis has managed care of my small farm in Costa Rica for almost a year now. He has been an amazing blessing to this land and has transformed it in countless productive ways. From planning to design, planting, soil building, composting, pruning, trail building, help supervision, networking, community building, sourcing plants and materials, etc. He’s very knowledgeable and experienced in the ways of food production. Easy to work with and a natural teacher with enthusiasm for creating abundance and community, an internship with Travis would be a very educational, rewarding and rich experience.”

“Travis is a 24/7 mentor. ready to lead by example applying rooted-informed holistic practices in all projects he participates with.”

“I wish I had hired Travis years ago…I would have saved a lot of money, time, hassle, and frustration….and me and my family would have surely enjoyed the whole journey, a whole lot more. Invest upfront in good design… or spend more money learning the hard way.”
