The Dirt Rich School


The Dirt Rich School

The Dirt Rich School provides hands-on learning for students of permaculture.

Empowering people to live in abundance and thrive in a changing world
The Dirt Rich School is a nonprofit organization located on Compass Rose Farms, an abundant 40-acre property that is a peaceful sanctuary with gardens, ponds, forests, fields, creeks and paths. There are countless places to wander, sit and observe nature. In addition, it is home to a beautiful permaculture demonstration site. We are located near Port Townsend at the tip of Discovery Bay in Northwest Washington.
We teach applied Permaculture design, modern homesteading, holistic animal husbandry, and sustainable food production through a mentorship program offering a hands on learning experience.
