Hundred Fruit Farm, New Hope PA

In my experience, Adam's permaculture design work is exceptional. His thorough subject matter knowledge is coupled with his passion for permaculture farming. He works with his clients to understand their project goals, the local USDA zone limitations and produces pragmatic work. Friendly and always willing to share his knowledge and experiences - it was a pleasure to work with him. Highly recommended!

Hundred Fruit Farm is an amazing place. It is built around making strong ecologically beneficial relationships between all of its parts to produce a thriving organic farm. The animals, plants, people, and the natural landscape function harmoniously to produce a wide variety of healthful, delicious foods, while regenerating the soil and helping to improve the environment.

I came to Hundred Fruit Farm to participate in their 72 hour Permaculture certification course. At other farms, this course is normally offered only as a two week intensive on-site study. However, Hundred Fruit Farm offers it as a series of bi-weekly, weekend workshops that you can commute to. It is less expensive than many other Permaculture courses and is a perfect way for people with busy schedules to be able to learn the material and have time to process it and integrate it into their own activities. I was looking everywhere for a Permaculture certification course because I wanted to fill out my knowledge and credentials to support the ecological memorial garden foundation that I founded in memory of my son, Yuma. Hundred Fruit Farm offered me the perfect opportunity to study.

The farmer and lead-teacher, Adam Dusen is a superb host and exceptional teacher and presenter. He is highly knowledgable and also brought in other experts in the field to present specialty topics and host us at several nearby sites. This course has been one of the richest and most enjoyable learning experiences for me in recent memory. The participants in the course were a wonderful group and the community of the farm is incredibly welcoming and sharing. I give my best recommendation for anyone who wants to be a more knowledgable gardner, farmer, or landscaper to take this Permaculture course. It is essential knowledge and Hundred Fruit Farm is the right place to learn it.

Had an amazing experience getting my Permaculture Design Certification at Hundred Fruit Farm. Adam packed a lot of content into our classes and had experienced guest teachers teach some of the classes as well. We also took several inspiring field trips. What makes this PDC course different is the pace of every other weekend, allowing time for the content to integrate in-between classes. Plus you get to meet other great like-minded people by taking this class in person. Also the setting is pretty awesome, and you get to see a permaculture designed farm in person and hang out with animals including the family pets who like to frequent the class and keep everyone entertained. I plan to take all that I learned and apply it to my work in Horticulture, as well as my own suburban property.

This is a wonderful farm. Adam is a great educator and is a permaculture and organic farming expert and is also a consultant. He has worked in various places around the world. Took the Permaculture Design Course in Summer of 2019 and was a great experience. Learnt a lot during the course and would recommend everyone to take the course. It's also on the weekends so it's very convenient for people with full time jobs. Love everything about this farm!

I took Hundred Fruit Farm's Summer/Fall 2019 PDC Course - what a treat! The price and format were unbeatable. If you live in Central NJ like I do, this is THE permaculture design course for you. The farm is lovely; the guest instructors, and Adam of course, were all so friendly and knowledgeable. Their instruction provided me with a solid foundation from which I can pursue permaculture further - in my personal life, as well as professionally. As a junior landscape architect/designer, I give this course an A+ recommendation. Everyone can be a designer; let Hundred Fruit Farm's PDC teach you how!
