Meet The Academy Founder
Kenton has spent the last decade funneling his knowledge about permaculture, sustainability, and off-grid living into engaging online and in-person classes. He’s already helped hundreds of students reduce their environmental footprints, grow their own food, save money, create their dream property.
His obsession with all things sustainability began after stumbling upon a free permaculture course. A high school art teacher at the time, he couldn’t help but share this new knowledge with his students. To his surprise, he realized the kids cared less about art and more about “worm poop” and alternative homes.
So he quit the school system and began a life-long sustainability journey. It took him to Australia, where he became a certified permaculture instructor; then, to his home country, Canada, where he traveled from coast-to-coast, consulting clients and government bodies; and then to Barbados, where he teamed up with the government to start a permaculture school.
Today, Kenton lives debt-free in an off-grid tiny home that he built himself, and he spends his time running courses and consulting for projects and home owners. He currently resides in B.C. with his girlfriend (Destiny), cat (Mr. Moseby), and dog (Oskar).

Geoff Lawton, Permaculture Colleague
In the face of uncertain times, I saw the need to change my life. I took a house building course from Kenton, and then I hired him twice. Together we reviewed my house design, utilities, and legalities. I learned things you didn't even know you needed to know. With his sense of humor, his wealth of knowledge, and abundant passion, I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Purchasing a property is just like purchasing a used car – it could be a lemon. Thankfully there are numerous “red flags”, or warnings, you can spot if you know to look for them. These can change whether you purchase the property, negotiate for a lower price, or walk away from a property.
Zoning are the rules around how land can be developed and used. While they can be changed, this is both expensive and time-intensive, and you may be denied! Ensure you understand your local zoning rules as it will impact what land you buy.
If I had to give only 1 piece of advice, it would be to choose a property with natural potential. For example, you can’t change the way the sun moves across the sky, but if you want food and solar power, you can choose a property with better solar aspect. Work with nature, and if you don’t know how, hire a consultant to help you start on the right foot.
As you can see from the other questions, there are a lot of mistakes that can be made. Likewise, there are a lot of “wins” possible. A single hour with an expert can help you choose the right property for your goals, the one with the most productive and financial potential, and the ideal property for your desired lifestyle.
