Our Mission is to encourage local food production and ecological awareness through hands-on permaculture and homesteading education.
We have our first Permaculture Farm Lab, roughly 1 acres on the grounds of Mavis Manor. Included on this acre is are landscape texture capable of producing large food yields, a small fruit forest, a resource-efficient sustainable Barn, and a carbon offset Forest
Part of the Non Profit, is to teach folks to be community-based self-reliant. We can build a safe, effective heating unit for under $50
0 that you can burn only falling twigs and junk wood in. (and stay very warm) We can build a waste management system that has no virus vectors and in a few years all the human body waste become rich compost, or under $700 We can build landscape texture that requires minimum rainfall but still will produce high yields.

The Mavis Institute Co-Op is a year-round non-profit farm, permaculture lab, and education center located in a small hamlet of Flat Top, on the grounds of Mavis Manor in Mercer County WV.
We believe quality education is a key in creating a sustainable future. Our permaculture training and the shared resources, which include access to land, will help provide the opportunities to reshape communities.
Our programs give folks access to the skill set of growing their own food, take step towards self-reliant, start or grow farm-based businesses. We offer hands-on apprenticeship and mentorship, workshops, and other outreach programs.
Together we can be the change we wish to see in the world.
