P.I.P. is a system specifically designed for permaculture farmers and homesteads who are starting out with their farm or homestead development, who are mostly doing things on their own, and need practical guidance on implementation.
The program provides you with the practical tools so you know exactly WHAT to do WHEN, and HOW, with a specific focus on growing food (food forests + annual gardens).
What’s included?
The system has 4 main components:
- THE BIG PICTURE that gives you an overview of the hands-on work required to grow food an abundance of food
- YEARLY PLAN that outlines WHAT to do in a year to kickstart your farm and produce an abundance of food with food forests and annual gardens
- IMPLEMENTATION GUIDES that explain HOW to do the WHAT (step-by-step implementation guidance for each project)
- PERMACULTURE IMPLEMENTATION CALENDAR(s) that explains WHEN to do the WHAT in your climate zone
I am very interested in this course. However, I live in a dry and arid location (Arizona, United States) with only about 10-15in of rain annually and mostly during what we call the monsoons in the summer. I hope that I can gain further knowledge from your course that can be applied to my current situation. I have taken Geoff Lawtons online PDC and found it valuable. I looking forward to your insights.
Hey Anthony, let’s discuss how to adapt the course content to your context. Reach out to me.
Hi William – I’m very much looking forward to learning from you! Thank you so much for putting this program together!
Cheers!

Thanks, Brian!
Thank you, I need to create my master plan and would ask for consulting services to confirm our direction and draft plan to help expedite implementation. Is this possible? We have 183 Acres located at 678 Starr Mann Road, Saint Jo, TX 76265 my number is (214) 679-0411 Thank you
Hey John, I don’t do consulting at the moment, but I’m happy to advise you as you got through the course materials and start implementing.
Hi William,
I was trying to order the PIP program, but it required me to login and I have misplaced my password and tried to send a password recovery to my email twice but it never arrived. Can you please help? I would like the program but my order cannot process since I cannot login. Thank you!
Hey Sherri, the email with the reset link probably ended up in your spam or bin folder. I can create a new password for you if necessary and send you the link to register for the course.
Hi William. Like Anthony above, we live in a dry and arid location (Murray Mallee, South Australia) with only about 280mm of rain annually. We hope that we can gain further knowledge from your course that can be applied to our current situation. We’d also like to know how we can adapt the course content to our meet our needs. Looking forward to the journey.
The big-picture plan of the development stays the same. The yearly plan and the calendar will need adaptation. We would need to discuss your climate in more detail to establish a more precise guideline. Reach out to me as you go through the course, and we’ll brainstorm this.
Hi William. I have a similar situation to others here. My potential evaporation exceeds my rainfall some years (semi-arid) mostly due to soil (free draining sands) and crazy winds. We are a true edge climate being technically sub-tropical but with an elevation that gives us a temperate influence and shortens seasons. To make matters more complicated we are over 500 miles from the nearest large body of water (the Gulf of Mexico) and, as touched on above, right at the dry line that bisects our state (Oklahoma). I am going to enroll and try to adapt the course to my situation as much as possible. I hope it is ok if I reach out often for advice as I do so?
Hey Nathan, I very much encourage you to reach out. That why I can make edits to the course.
