Michael Hoag has spent over 20 years having an adventurous career in the army of community change-makers transforming the world. Since his Permaculture landscape transformation passion grew into a thriving full-time livelihood, he's had the pleasure of working and consulting on over 300 regenerative projects. He has managed Lillie House Permaculture, an urban production garden and community transformation business, and directs the Transformative Adventures Cooperative for supporting careers in community-scale change. Michael has worked in many aspects of the field: as a farmer, organizer and landscaper; in the nation's largest sustainable aquaponics facility; with a commodities exchange; with a farm loan operation; as a forager; as an environmental activist with PIRGIM, the Sierra Club, Michigan Safe Energy Future, and several local environmental organizations; as a college professor and curriculum designer; and with migrant labor communities as an educator. Now Michael works on his own terms leading landscape transformation programs, as a teacher, Permaculture designer, production gardener, plantsman, herbalist, forager, artist, and curriculum designer. He's an avid natural gardener, ecology geek, food-lover, musician, and philosopher in love with all the exciting opportunities this beautiful world offers at this unique time.
