Common Man in Ocala: Health for our Body and Soil + Farm Tour & Concert

Hosted by Jennifer Stocker, Owner and Gardener at Royal Grounds Farm in Ocala, FL.

Speaker Kris Edler is back by popular demand!

Edler is the Founder of PermacultureFX and has been practicing regenerative agriculture for 15+ years. Edler has lived in multiple growing zones from the snowy winters of Northern Michigan to the extreme seasons of Kansas City. He was a founding teacher of a private school in Kansas City, which taught permaculture to K-12 students on an 18-acre property. As a business owner, his former wedding venue also practiced permaculture with community garden connection and compost production from post-event food waste. Currently, Edler is actively practicing and teaching permaculture in Central Florida. He is a certified instructor and was trained by Geoff Lawton (and other permaculture patriarchs). He is especially passionate about making permaculture principles palatable for those in suburban settings and enjoys finding ways to integrate sustainable practices into many diverse scenarios. Over the last few years, he conducted hundreds of property consultations in Central Florida to help new homesteaders get started on their land. All this to say - Edler is a nerdy dirt ninja with a passion for humans and food forests.
