GARDENS and ORCHARDS. We set out to design our centre according to the Permaculture Design Principals Permaculture workshops were offered on a regular basis. And our intention was that our gardens would provide sufficient food for the centre and to always have something you can eat while walking through the garden. We are beginning to accomplish this and now at different times we harvest many fruits, berries and nuts. Daily we pick our salad needs plus greens like beans, spinach, etc. We also now have a huge variety of herbs which we harvest for eating, beauty, and teas for pest repellents and also to feed the gardens.

  CHICKENS. We have hens (and a rooster) that provide us with handfuls of eggs daily. They also eat all the passed the sell by date fruit in our garden so we don't get fruit fly. They also give us manure and eat the weeds that grow in the garden

Water world wide is becoming more and more polluted and it is our beliefthat you cannot pee and poo  in drinking water any more so all the toilets at MAT are compost toilets, which are efficient, clean and give us masses rich clean compost.
