Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Kenton!
I’m Kenton Zerbin, your passionate educator and certified permaculture instructor. With 14 years dedicated to sustainable living, I've meticulously crafted Attainable Sustainable Academy and its flagship course, 'The Sustainable Home & Property.'
My journey began as a high school art teacher in 2010 when I felt a yearning to teach practical life skills. A chance encounter with a permaculture course ignited my passion for sustainability. I initiated a lunch-hour sustainability club, teaching students about composting, soil health, and edible forests.
Hungry for more knowledge, I became a certified permaculture instructor in Australia under Geoff Lawton. Subsequently, I traveled across Australia and Canada, consulting for clients, governments, and starting a permaculture school in Barbados. I also collaborated with the United Nations and trained over 100 permaculture designers.
In 2014, I settled in Edmonton, Alberta, and built my efficient tiny home, reducing my environmental impact and debt. Over a decade, I've taught courses, designed landscapes, and consulted on diverse projects.
Now, I'm establishing a global training network for sustainable living, aiming to empower teachers and students worldwide.

We are drowning in information...
...and starving for wisdom.
Information vs. Wisdom
You can find plenty of information on buying property, planting an edible forest, or living off-grid with a simple internet search.
However, this can be risky because a sea of information without wisdom on how to apply it can lead you astray.
The Perils of the Wrong Property
For countless enthusiastic property owners, the dream of sustainable living can turn into a costly nightmare.
The reason? Purchasing the wrong piece of land.
These individuals invest substantial sums only to discover that their chosen property resides in a fire or flood-prone zone, offers inadequate sun exposure, soil quality, or water access, or comes burdened with restrictive regulations.
Select the Right Property!
The cornerstone of your sustainable living dream is the selection of the right property.
In the initial section of my course, I place immense importance on this critical step.
Drawing from my vast experience working with clients across diverse properties and climates worldwide, I offer unique insights to guide you.
Beyond Property Selection
The Sustainable Home & Property Course empowers you to not only find the right property but also to design a low-maintenance edible forest, adapt to comfortable off-grid living, and achieve self-sufficiency.
Through live group coaching, hands-on projects, and engaging video lectures, I ensure you leave with a personalized roadmap to your sustainable life.
Your Attainable Sustainable Future
Sustainable living isn’t just a distant dream; it’s a tangible reality. By the end of this course, you’ll not only possess the knowledge but also the practical guidance to embark on your sustainable journey.
Whether you’re a newcomer to permaculture, off-grid living, or sustainability, rest assured that I’ll be your expert guide, ensuring that you never feel overwhelmed.

In the first week of the course, become your very own permaculture designer. See your world with new lens so you can spot potential in ANY property and understand how to make it come to fruitition (pun intended!).
Week 2 - Mapping
Learn to make maps so you can wisely work with your land. Harmonize with the sun, wind, and water. Learn how to survey solutions, see your land with a godlike view, and make decisions like a general.
Week 3 - Water
Learn how to become ridiculously efficient with water, and make it work for you. You’ll learn how to capture water from roof, land, and your house. Use your water 6 times instead of paying 6 times!
Week 4 - Home

Week 8 - Black Gold
Ditch chemical fertilizer for good! Learn how to turn ANY kind of organic “waste” into “black gold”. Create home composting systems that produces nutrient-rich soil so you can grow nutritious fruit & veg organically. (You dont HAVE to compost your poop but I’ll teach you. )

You’ll learn how to create bat and bird houses, how to attract bees, how to create “bug hotels”, and how to keep chickens, and even design larger animals into your property.
Week 10 - Community
Community can help you divide the workload, share the abundance, and create resilience & emergency preparedness. It can also boost your mental health. Learn the value of community, strategies for strengthening community, and models for creating one.

Why I Created The Program
A lot of sustainably-conscious people want to live according to their values and feel proud of their impact. But modern life makes it near-impossible...
- They’re stuck in 9-5 jobs.
- They spend too much of their hard-earned money on their rent or mortgage, utilities, and groceries.
- They’re too exhausted by the daily grind to do the things they actually want to do.
But there’s another way. I’m living proof.
I live debt-free in an off-grid house I built. I grow my own food. I work by choice, not necessity. I invest in myself, helping others, and travel.
You can have my life, too.
I created The Sustainable Home & Property Program because too many people want to live sustainably, but don’t know where to start.
“We now have what we need to start our 53-acre retreat. Kenton is a patient teacher and I'm so grateful for his expert help. I highly recommend working with him.”
Lifestyle Results & Benefits
If you follow my teachings and do the hard work, you can:
- Have better mental & physical health
- Eat more (delicious) fruit & veg
- Feel empowered and secure
- Achieve financial freedom
- Find your people
- Live in alignment with your sustainable values
- …And so much more.
The value of this program is $11,550.
I’ve invested over a decade of my life building my expertise in permaculture, off-grid living, and sustainability. My expertise draws from getting my permaculture certificate in Australia, to consulting hundreds of private clients & government bodies, to building my own off-grid house.
If it weren’t for my course, the only other way you’d get access to me would be to hire me as a consultant at $500/hr. But I didn’t want you to completely blow your whole budget on my consulting services.
I’m not going to charge you $11,550 because that would be absurd.
I’m not even going to charge you $7500, or $5000, or $2500…
I’m only going to charge you $1497 for my course when you enroll today.
That’s a massive deal considering you’ll save tens, or even hundreds, of thousands of dollars in the long run when you follow my step-by-step teachings.
I’m charging this low price because I’m on a mission to create an army of regenerative rebels, healing the planet one property at a time.
We need more people healing the land, being self-sufficient, and actually living their lives. The planet depends on it.
When you enroll today, you get $11,550 worth of value for a fraction of the price.
The doors are closing on [X date] at [X time] because we’ll all be learning together at the same pace, just like a real-life classroom.
But I’m not sure when (or even if) I’ll be running this course again.
This is your chance to finally create the sustainable life of your dreams.

You are in expert hands!
Kenton will make you evaluate what is important to YOU, and then show you how to design your own solutions. That skill is invaluable. At the end of the course, you will not only have your best solution and a mentor, but a colleague and friend!

A Pretty Damn Good Time
In the face of uncertain times, I saw the need to change my life, so I took Kenton's course. I learned things you didn't even know you needed to know for my house design, utilities... even legalities! Add in Kenton's sense of humor, his wealth of knowledge, and abundant passion, and you got yourself a pretty damn good time!! I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Life-changing...
I first took Kenton's workshops on edible landscaping. They were informative, inspiring, and honestly, life-changing. Then I designed my own 100% edible landscape then turned my design into reality. His courses literally changed my life.

A: After you enroll and pay, you’ll get an email confirmation with next steps. You’ll get immediate access to the ASA student portal, where you’ll have to create a profile.
Our student portal is ad-free, user-friendly, and works well on both phone and desktop.
A: The course officially begins on [X date] at [X time PT]. We’ll kick it off with an informal welcome call, and the first video lecture will be on [X date] at [X time PT]. Every live class is recorded in case you want to rewatch or you can’t make it.
A: The calls will be once a week, generally on [day of the week] at [X time PT]. If that changes, I’ll give you lots of notice. The calls are 90 minutes long–60 minutes for the course material, and 30 minutes for live Q&A.
A: If you can find 30 minutes per day to do the practical hands-on assignments, you’ll succeed. If you can’t join the live calls, you can always watch the replays on your own time.
A: I don’t offer refunds on this course. This is why I do my very best to make sure you have all the information about this course before you purchase. Read this page as many times as you need to, and feel free to email me your question at kenton@AttainableSustainableAcademy.com
A: I got my permaculture design certificate in Australia under Geoff Lawton, a heavyweight in the permaculture world (and HE studied under Bill Mollison, the guy who started permaculture!). After that, I started a permaculture school in Barbados, where I trained over 100 permaculture designers. I’ve since done tons of consulting for private clients and government bodies, and I’ve personally mentored hundreds of people. When it comes to off-grid living, I draw on my own experiences of living in a tiny home that I designed and built myself. I’ve taught hundreds of students how to make their own tiny homes.
A: I designed this course to keep you engaged and awake! My live calls don’t feel like stuffy university lectures. They feel more like a casual get-together with friends. I crack jokes, ask open questions to the group, use visuals in my lectures, and give you hands-on assignments.
A: Yes! You have the option of paying in 3 equal monthly payments. Proceed to the next page to pick the payment option that best suits you.
A: The biggest thing that makes ASA unique is how deep we go into finding the right property. Most courses in the permaculture, homesteading & off-grid realm skip this step or don’t go deep enough. Choosing the wrong property can be disastrous, which is why I spend so much time on helping you find the right property.
Apart from that, my permaculture course doesn’t just cover permaculture. I teach a lot of skills that permaculture enthusiasts need to thrive: off-grid living, efficient energy, waste management, water management, and more.
A: Yes! If you complete the assignments & the final project, you’ll get a printer-friendly certificate of completion signed by me at the end of the 12 weeks.
