Integrative Permaculture & Agroforestry
Cultivating Connections, Regenerating Soil
“Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.” CREEED’s understanding of food security and personal health emphasizes local, regenerative and culturally appropriate food systems, in recognition that these elements support greater food sovereignty in the face of rising prices and supply disruptions. It also offers healthier food than the industrial food system and puts control back in the hands of farmers, consumers and rural communities themselves.

A vision is inspired by the quality of questions we can ask of ourselves, the plants we work with, and the land we are gifted with

Brahm Gartner
Brahm brings a wealth of passion and knowledge gleaned from traveling the world and studying a wide variety of cutting-edge agricultural methods.
Earning a scholarship to Harvard but leaving early to seek a different kind of education; one that took him to foreign lands where he learned the native tongue and is now fluent in seven languages; learning different farming systems across the globe; visiting and living in different villages where he got to know the people and their way of life; their traditions, rituals and ceremonies. With this rare combination of knowledge, wisdom and grace, Brahm has gained an education beyond the reach of any University.
