Frank’s Journey: The Story behind PermaGuide!

With over two decades of experience in the digital world, our founder Frank has witnessed the evolution of online business, from early coding to leading innovative digital strategies. His career took a transformative turn when he purchased land on the island of La Palma. Initially driven by a desire to revitalize the dry, wind-swept soils, Frank quickly developed a passion for permaculture. What began as a personal experiment in sustainable cultivation grew into a successful project based on permaculture principles.

Discovering Permaculture

When Frank first embarked on this journey, he was unaware of permaculture. As he explored sustainable practices, he realized that permaculture offered holistic solutions to the challenges he faced. It became clear that permaculture wasn’t just about personal growth but was a blueprint for a better world. However, Frank encountered challenges early on: what infrastructure was needed? How should he start?

Seeking answers, Frank connected with experienced permaculturists. Through these interactions, he gained invaluable insights, made lasting friendships, and deepened his understanding of the practice.

The Birth of PermaGuide

Despite the abundance of knowledge within the permaculture community, Frank noticed a significant gap in knowledge-sharing and collaboration. Many experts and project owners held immense wisdom, but there was no platform to make this information easily accessible. This gap inspired Frank to create PermaGuide.com—a platform dedicated to learning and practicing permaculture and self-sufficient living.

PermaGuide is more than just an informational hub; it’s a social business designed to foster community, encourage collaboration on projects, and create a movement capable of making a positive impact on the world.

The Three Pillars of PermaGuide

PermaGuide is built on three core pillars:

1. Education: Offering resources and courses on permaculture and self-sufficiency.
2. Collaboration: Encouraging project collaboration and connection between individuals.
3. Community: Building a supportive space for users to exchange knowledge and grow together.

From urban gardeners with small balconies to farmers managing large plots of land, PermaGuide makes permaculture accessible to everyone. Frank has fully dedicated himself to advancing the platform, which is set to launch soon with a growing community of experts eager to contribute.
