coordination, and learning among the Permaculture and homesteading

needs in development projects to allow for more self-sufficient
living.

resident, business, and activist communities of Syracuse.

intentional community, and homesteading related knowledge.

on Syracuse and Upstate New York.
• Continue the efforts of the Finger Lakes Permaculture Network 2009
Winter Consulta held in Ithaca, NY
This mission will be accomplished in a professional and financially
responsible manner that is in the best interest of all participants.

soup lunch, a 'zine created on site, childcare activities, and special
