E18: Building Community With Permaculture Featuring David Pruitt

In this episode, Guest David Pruitt, a fifth generation of "the natural healing space" known as Pruitt's Tree Resins Ministries, shares insights on permaculture, building community, and freedom.

The company's motto is "Where good health and healing come naturally." David created his own permaculture food forest on one acre on land, where over two to three years he converted his red clay soil to 18 inches of rich black soil, later planting 72 fruit trees.

Topics covered in this interview:

Permaculture as a community, and as a way to build strong relationships with your family.
Advancing agriculture forward, by trying new approaches like cross-pollinating apple trees to increase production.
Food Forest Abundance is creating an abundance-minded community naturally; it's an investment, and "an appreciating asset" you'll get back tenfold.
Leveraging nature instead of working against it; observing and modeling nature as it shows us what works.
Building self-reliance – it's more rewarding growing your own food, and you're getting better quality.
