What clients say
“We hired Peppi to plan out our 9 tumoli farm on permaculture principles in 2022. He delivered a detailed plan and we can already see positive results. I highly recommend Peppi”
“Peppi has a way of making things clear and achievable, but more importantly, he makes the process meaningful. When we first set out to prove that sustainable agriculture within a circular economy was possible, we had ideas but lacked the technical knowledge and experience to bring them to life. Peppi became the bridge between our vision and reality. … He listens, advises, and guides without imposing a single way of doing things.”
“Peppi is always my go to for all things Permaculture. His lifestyle and all the stunning spaces he creates are thriving examples of how permaculture is a design system, rooted in patterns of nature, that helps humans restore and regenerate ecosystems while providing for their own needs. He constantly pushes the boundaries of the principles of design and magic of intentionality as two of the cornerstones of the intersection between permaculture, and nature-based spiritual practice.”
“Wow! Just wow! I'm so impressed with what Peppi has done with Bahrija Oasis permaculture farm - the lushness of the once barren land, the sustainable hobbit-like facilities, the courses, everything. I did a Permaculture Design course with Peppi years ago and he has evidently applied his vast knowledge superbly, the perfect example! Peppi really knows his stuff and it gives me great joy to see the fruits of his efforts grow and his knowledge now shared online - the world needs this, now more than ever! A big well done and thank you for the ongoing inspiration ❤️”
