Oasis Farmery’s focus is on designing and developing integrated solutions to enable communities to live regeneratively; that is to exceed the minimum requirement of being sustainable and to create abundance. Regenerative living is marked by increasing biodiversity, building topsoil, creating excess energy, sequestering greenhouse gases, and having more than enough food to go around. As this goal cannot be attained through a single solution, a synergistic combination of ideas are required that are interdependent and based upon working with the natural world.

Andrew Mathis is a regenerative design educator and consultant who seeks to empower people to envision and cocreate a hopeful flourishing future for all. Andrew teaches courses and workshops on permaculture, food forest design, and sustainability, and has worked with community groups, First Nations, and schools to design and implement projects that bring people together around growing food. Andrew lives with his wife Anna in an old farmhouse with their children Gibson and Juniper on the Nashwaak in the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik. On the weekends they can be found in the garden, tending the bees, or foraging for wild mushrooms.
