Hi, my name’s Robyn Rosenfeldt and I’m the editor, publisher and creator of Pip magazine.
Pip magazine is Australia’s new permaculture magazine. www.pipmagazine.com.au
Wouldn’t it be great to have a magazine that covers all your interests in permaculture and sustainable living. And wouldn’t it be great if this magazine was beautifully designed with loads of colour photos and illustrations on 100% recycled paper. A magazine where you can learn how to retrofit your home to make it more energy efficient, get great ideas that you can implement into your own productive food gardens, find recipes that are seasonal and use simple whole foods and read about other like-minded people who are doing inspiring things. And also find out about courses that are coming up, permaculture related businesses and relevant events.
It’s been over ten years since Australia had it’s own permaculture magazine and it has been hugely missed. Since then we have had to rely on overseas publications that in many ways aren't relevant. We need our own magazine that is relevant to our climates, seasons, landscapes and culture.
As David Holmgren; the co-originator of permaculture says "The most powerful thing we can do to change the world is to create the world we do want rather than trying to stop the world we don’t want." The aim of this magazine is to share stories, ideas and inspiration about how to create a world that can survive into the future; showcasing people and groups who are doing great things around the country and beyond to live more sustainably as well as offering practical advice about how to implement permaculture into your life.
Pip magazine will be both informative and credible as well as stylish, attractive and easy to understand. In this way it is relevant and interesting to both long term permies as well as being accessible and inspiring to those that are new to permaculture or want to learn more about living in harmony with the planet.
There will be articles with practical information and tips on a variety of topics under the sections; grow, build, eat, create, nurture and connect.
In the first issue there are articles by David Holmgren, Kirsten Bradley, Dan Harris Pascal and Ian Lillington to name a few. We’ll cover food forests, natural dyes, mushroom cultivation, herbal first aid, food security and local food to name a few.
Why Pip? Pip is the beginning and pip is the end. Some may see the pip as something you throw away but in permaculture we see it as the start of new life. It is the link between the end of one life cycle and the start of another.
Pip magazine will be published twice yearly to start with and will be available by subscription through the website www.pipmagazine.com.au and at some select outlets.
How The Funds Will Be Used
I have covered all costs so far from my own
personal funds; design, production of website, promotional material, travel, etc.

The Challenges
Financial sustainability is always a
challenge for a new business starting out but I am overcoming this by starting
off small and simple, in true permaculture style. I am keeping my first print run small, keeping overheads low
and crowdfunding for the first print run so that all profits from the this edition go directly into the printing of the next one. I am also volunteering my time until it
reaches a point that the magazine can afford to pay me and other volunteer
staff. We have volunteered our time to help get this project off the ground because we believe in it and want to see it come alive.
Your name printed on the supporters page of the magazine. A warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing you have helped support the launch of Australia's own permaculture magazine.
