Permaship was founded in 2007 as a permaculture demonstration and information center, in the Southern Slopes of the Balkan Mountains. Permaship consisted of two permaculture sites, including: chicken tractor beds, rainwater collection systems - (earthworks and storage tanks), dry compost toilets and greywater systems. Today Permaship does not operate but they keep the website running as it contains information on practical application and experiences of permaculture principles.
