Who we are

Our mission is to inspire sustainable urban living through education, community involvement and creative cooperation.

Originally the Phoenix Permaculture Guild, we became the VPA in 2011 reflecting the reach of this growing community.

The term “permaculture” combines "permanent" + "(agri)culture" and addresses sustainability and interdependence of human and natural ecosystems.

Join us for some pancakes and take a few classes on Saturday, May 26th!

Tired of making long road trips over the Memorial Day weekend? Are you planning a stay-cation for that weekend, and want to start it right with some food and learning? Come to Tempe for classes and some mesquite pancakes on Saturday, May 26th.

 

At 8:00AM, our friend Chloe Rhea Beauford will give a class on native foods upstairs at the University Club at 425 University Dr in Tempe. 

How can you take mesquite and carob seeds and turn them into a flour that is naturally sweet, gluten-free and delicious? And what about those luscious purple and ruby red prickly pear that are beginning to form on nearly every cactus in sight this month?

Then, at 9:00AM our Pancake Breakfast will begin! Enjoy mesquite-flour pancakes and meet new like-minded friends. Participate in our local permaculture community to share resources, connections and experience in sustainable living.
We'd like to encourage those folks who do want to attend to come earlier than 11-11:30AM as seating is limited, and we'd like to make sure everyone gets fresh pancakes!

Tickets for this fundraising community event are $15. Children age 12 and younger eat free! FUN for the Whole Family!

Proceeds benefit the Valley Permaculture Alliance, a 501c3 education organization. Our thanks to our generous supporters -- Atlasta Catering!



At 1:00PM, walk off your healthy breakfast with a 6-block jaunt to Sea-of-Green Hydroponics for Kaesha Neil's class,Extending Your Harvest: Part III - Canning and Freezing.

Part III of this series addresses preservation methods that involve canning and freezing.  Basic methods, sample recipes, and resources are presented.  Topics include boiling water bath canning, steam canning, and pressure canning.
