815: Kareen Erbe on Resilient Homesteads.
Helping people design food forests and gardens with a holistic approach.
In This Podcast: Broken Ground is Kareen's passion and a platform where people can learn how to work with and create from the principles of permaculture and sustainable living. Kareen is a passionate environmentalist with a deep-rooted connection to the land, and through Broken Ground she offers workshops, consultations, and design services to empower individuals and communities to grow their own food and regenerate the earth.
Through her signature resilient homestead program, participants are guided through the principles of permaculture design, soil building, food forest creation, and water harvesting, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to transform their landscapes into thriving, biodiverse ecosystems. By fostering beneficial relationships between plants, animals, and people, Broken Ground is redefining the way we interact with our environment and inspiring a new generation of land stewards.
At the core of her mission is the belief that everyone has the ability to cultivate abundance and resilience in their own front and backyard. By providing practical tools and resources, along with ongoing support and mentorship, Broken Ground empowers individuals to take control of their food supply and reduce their impact on the planet. Through education, community engagement, and hands-on learning experiences, Broken Ground is sowing the seeds of change and cultivating a future where regenerative agriculture is the norm, not the exception.
Our Guest: Kareen is the owner of Broken Ground, a garden design consultant and educator. For over a decade, she has helped people in cold climates grow their own food so they can eat healthier, live more sustainably, and become more self-reliant. From getting clients started on their first ever garden, to working with couples on designing a full-blown homestead, to designing large-scale farms, she’s helped thousands of people grow nutritious food for their family through consultations, design services, her signature Resilient Homestead Program, and her YouTube channel. Kareen and her husband live on a suburban homestead in Bozeman, Montana, USA with their dog Beni, a greenhouse, pond, vegetable gardens, a food forest of fruit trees and berry bushes, and a flock of chickens.
