The water is rich with tannins from the Okefenokee Swamp, giving it a tea-colored appearance that looks black in deeper areas. Is the river safe for swimming? Yes, the tannins in the water help kill bacteria and mosquito larvae, making it great for swimming. Is the river rocky or rough on the feet? No, the property is on an ancient oceanfront dune with soft white beach sand, perfect for swimming. Does the river smell? No, it has little to no odor. Are there bugs? While we recommend bug/tick spray, the property isn’t overrun by mosquitoes. Are there wild animals? Yes, wild animals can appear at any time. Is hunting allowed? No, this is a private retreat. BB guns are okay with adult supervision. Family friendly? Yes! But please note there is no lifeguard on duty, so watch children closely, as river currents can be strong. Swim at your own risk. Are there stores nearby? Yes, a small store with gas is 2 minutes away, along with a Dollar General (5 mins), Walmart (10 mins), and local restaurants. In c

Permaculture in Paradise Nahunta,GA

10 sites · RVs, Tents250 acres · Yulee, GA

5 miles of riverfront property on the Satilla River with long beautiful sandy beaches. Great for hiking, canoeing and kayaking. We are a self sustainable farm encouraging everyone to participate. We have gardens as well as animals. We also rescue abandoned and farm animals. Permaculture in Paradise is a nonprofit 501c3 organization started in December of 2018. Our mission is to build awareness of a more environmentally friendly self-sustainable method of producing a higher quality and nutritional variety of food while providing and encouraging the consumption of a more nutritional diet to the youth of our community. Our vision is to change the behavior of children now and the diabetic and obesity rates of future generations through healthier and more traditional diets provided by better farming methods using Permaculture. Within the Permaculture is a community activated, working farm that will educate, support, and inspire the participants, school tours, and visitors to eventually reproduce Permaculture gardens of their own. Gardens that will continue to provide a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs for families throughout the area and beyond. Changing the minds of young and old to a safer and more natural way of growing their own food and to improve the choices they make about the foods that they consume. Our primary focus is to change the behavior of children by changing the food they choose to eat. As they tour the farm, they can pick the fruits and vegetables of their choice to bring home with them. They can also pick fruits and vegetables to bring to the smoothie shack where we make them a smoothie of their own design. All of these services are free. We, as Permaculturist, have the responsibility to keep this knowledge alive by offering as much training as possible. We have designed a coordinated efforts program in which we provide free instruction in Permaculture techniques. We have just completed a free 12 week course in HOW TO BUILD A PERMACULTURE GARDEN IN THE BACK YARD OF AN HOA SUBDIVISION (See attached syllabus) Permaculture in Paradise strives to create a complete ecosystem by rescuing abandoned and neglected farm animals. While these animals are free to roam and engage with minimal fencing, they are content to stay in their happy oasis. Guava trees near the duck pond provide the ducks with a shaded resting spot. The ducks feed on vegetable plants growing near the pond. The chickens happily share space with the ducks and feed on any insect intruders in their vegetable garden. All 4 ducks were rescued at a very young age (unkown) and have flourished with contentment. We have 8 older hens, producing 7 eggs a day, providing eggs for and shared between the rescued dogs, cats, and a homeless family we sponsor. The goal is to be self-sustainable by growing all food for the ecosystem. We are in the process of rescuing a rooster, 2 goats, and a pig. We have a barn that contains 40 piglets that have all been adopted out. Available for our next rescue, is a mature horse in need. In 2023, we began acquiring larger animals needing shelter. We are creating ties with organizations such as Farm Santuary and Humane Society to rescue farm animals. These animals also serve as entertainment for children who tour the farm. Built on Native American land, we have built 2 playgrounds and a recreational pond for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing and cabins for camping. We strive to make eating fruits and vegetables fun. WE NEED YOUR HELP! WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP PLANT OUR ORCHARD. We have received a grant that will provide up to 530 fruit and nut trees of 30 different varieties depending on the number of volunteers that sign up. They will donate 2 trees per volunteer, plus a 3rd tree for the volunteer to take home. The process will take about 2 to 3 hours and will be held on a Friday and Saturday in February, March, or April. You may sign up for Friday, Saturday or both. Because we need the volunteer list in order to determine tree count, we must have a head count prior to knowing the event date. Once we have the date, we will notify you. The grantor understands that some volunteers may need to cancel. Refreshments will be provided. Please visit our facebook page for more information about what we provide. https://www.facebook.com/Permaculture-in-Paradise-2174908842777855/ Thanks so much for your help! Thank you for your time and effort! Melissa Bordelon CFO 9045300359
