About Expanding Edge Permaculture
Designing regenerative systems for Alberta properties and acreages
Our Mission
Expanding Edge Permaculture helps landowners design and build regenerative systems that improve soil health, increase resilience, and provide lasting value—whether through food production, water management, wildlife habitat, or economic returns.
We believe that thoughtful design—grounded in ecological principles and adapted to local climate and conditions— can transform how land works. By working with nature instead of against it, we help you create farms and properties that require less input while producing more output.
What We Do
We provide professional permaculture site design and consulting services to acreage owners, farmers, and homesteaders across Alberta. Our work includes:
- Site Design Reports: Interactive mapping and analysis that delivers actionable placement recommendations
- Permaculture Consulting: Expert guidance on system design, implementation, and management
- Homestead Planning: Complete property planning from infrastructure to planting schemes
- Water Systems: Efficient water harvesting and management design
- On-site Support: Hands-on implementation assistance for clients ready to build
Our Approach
Permaculture design is built on three core ethics: Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share. These principles guide everything we do.
We combine:
- Ecological Science: Soil, hydrology, climate, and biodiversity principles
- Proven Permaculture Practices: 40+ years of tested design methods
- Local Knowledge: Alberta-specific climate, soils, and growing conditions
- Technology: GIS analysis, elevation data, and interactive mapping tools
Alberta Adaptation
Alberta presents unique opportunities and challenges for regenerative design. Our consulting accounts for:
- Semi-arid climate with variable precipitation
- Short growing season and temperature extremes
- Diverse soil types from parkland to boreal ecosystems
- Water availability and watershed management
- Local market opportunities for value-added products
Why Choose Us
We don't just recommend plants or buildings in isolation—we design complete systems where each element supports others.
Our site design tool analyzes real topographic, climatic, and soil data specific to your property.
We focus on recommendations you can actually implement with realistic timelines and budgets.
We help you design for 10, 20, even 50 years of increasing productivity and resilience.
