Vendor Biography

Nicky and Dave Schauder are passionate about helping families and chefs grow and enjoy real food.

Their journey began when their children were diagnosed with “failure to thrive” due to multiple food allergies. This wake-up call led them to grow organically at home, producing 25% of their family’s fruits and vegetables in a tiny townhouse backyard. What started as a personal mission has grown into Permaculture Gardens — a hub for ecological gardening education and fresh, flavorful microgreens.

We:

  1. Empower families to grow their own food, medicine, and connect with God through ecological gardening.

  2. Help local chefs create unforgettable plates with our organic microgreens bursting with flavor, nutrients, and color.

Through our website, permaculturegardens.org, we offer free webinars, blogs, fresh microgreens for restaurants, and our Grow-It-Yourself (GIY) membership program, which gives step-by-step guidance for backyard garden success.

Our latest innovation, SAGE: A Permaculture Garden Designer, launched successfully on Kickstarter and helps gardeners plan thriving, eco-friendly spaces.
