Consulting Options

Walk and Talk

Walk and Talks start with a review of your goals and the questions on the intake form. This usually takes about an hour and is crucial to guide Greg in his recommendations. Next we walk the property for at least an hour discussing your site and it’s potential.

Prepare to take notes, this is just a consultation and advising session and does not include mapping or layout work.

Pricing: $150 + $75/hour after the first 2 hours + $0.67/mile from Greg’s home outside of Berkeley Springs, WV. 3-5 hour walk and talks are not uncommon. Can be rolled over into a Design or Full Design and Implementation Package.

Design Package

Starts with an onsite review of your goals/needs/wants/resources followed by a thorough walk and talk. Greg will meet onsite prepared with topographical, satellite, and soil maps of your site on which to take notes. Afterward he will share the design with you via Google Earth and follow up with a 1 hour phone call. One revision is included with another 1 hour follow-up call, though not often necessary.

These designs are referenced to the real world and can be rolled over into a Full Design and Implementation Package in the future or laid out as needed for the DIYer. For large sites or very complex situations another team member may be required for the initial site visit for an extra $250.

Full Design and Implementation Package

This is the “turn-key” option where we take care of everything to get your functional farm/homestead/permaculture paradise up and running and off to a productive start!

Includes everything in the Design Package plus:

-Full layout of the design on the ground using modern surveying equipment for accurate placement of keyline design elements like roads, buildings, ponds, field ripping, tree plantings, etc.

• Contracting of required earthworks like ponds, roads, and soil ripping with one of Greg’s trusted earth movers (not all excavators are the same!)

• Ground preparation

• Supply, planting, and protection of all plants

• On going maintenance as required

• A review of grant funding opportunities that potentially apply to your situation

Because of the extreme variability in sites, personal contexts, and goals pricing starts with a Design Package and will need to be estimated on a case-by-case basis after that.
