The Permanent Root System for Tampa Bay
PermaBay was born after a hurricane when our local permaculture scene was full of incredible energy but scattered across nine counties. We saw a need for a permanent root system that could connect the scattered seeds of Grow Permaculture, Sweetwater Organic Farm, and Green Dreams into one thriving forest. Rooted in the Bay, built to last — because in Tampa Bay we design systems that thrive through heat, sand, and storms.
Earth Care
We believe in working with nature, not against it. Our mission is to restore and protect the Tampa Bay ecosystem through regenerative gardening and sustainable land management that honors the local soil and climate.
People Care
Our community is at the heart of PermaBay. We prioritize education, inclusivity, and mutual support, ensuring that every individual has access to the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in a resilient food forest.
Fair Share
We practice the principle of taking only what we need and giving back to the community. By sharing resources, seeds, and knowledge freely, we build a permanent root system that lasts for generations.
