Our purpose designed demonstration site is a mixture of south facing sloping fields, mixed broadleaf woodland, pines, ponds and wetlands. While still a fledgling site, Tap o’ Noth Permaculture is growing at a rapid pace with ever expanding food gardens, poultry systems, polytunnels and fruit cages, worm farms, emerging forest gardens and agroforestry systems, main crop areas, swales, multifunctional/ multi species windbreak hedgerows, ponds, compost toilet facilities plus many more exciting and informative ecologically designed systems.

By modelling our food growing systems after a diverse forest ecosystem consisting of high yielding and high market value fruit and nut trees, fast growing biomass species and self-seeding shrubs and herbs, and utilising integrated Agroforestry livestock practices such as Silvopasture, we are creating a highly productive and over abundant landscape. Produce generated enables us to not only fulfil our family's dietary needs, feed our livestock or share with the wildlife, but also to redirect the surplus into the local economy by selling fresh produce and value-added products. In doing so, we witness farming as just one of the numerous positive byproducts stemming from the establishment of our farm ecosystem.
