William DeMille has been a friend to Survival Garden Seeds for a while. He has provided valuable information on soil health and regenerative farming techniques that we have shared with our customers. William asked us to share this letter with you so you can learn more about the education opportunities he offers.

We are William and Vernie DeMille, from the Georgic Schoolroom. Today, we’re excited to share a transformative opportunity for young adults seeking direction and purpose in their lives. Having observed the unique challenges faced by young people, we created the Georgic Schoolroom as a personal development program designed to guide participants toward their individual missions in life. Through hands-on gardening, homesteading, and deep self-reflection, this program provides tools and experiences to help young adults discover who they truly are and how they can serve their communities. If you’ve ever felt like you were born in the wrong century, we just might be able to help you find your way.
The Georgic Schoolroom is more than a farming class; it is a life-changing experience. Over the past three years, our students have gained confidence, clarity, and purpose—even if they had no interest in farming. While we use gardening and ecology as tools for growth, the real focus is on personal mission development. Our remote Nevada farm, nestled beneath snow-capped mountain peaks, offers the perfect setting for this journey of self-discovery. Here, students learn practical skills like planting seeds, pruning branches, and crafting homemade goods while engaging in deep conversations and moments of quiet reflection. They leave with renewed purpose, healed spirits, and a clear path forward. We’ve seen lives transformed, and we know this program can make a difference for so many others.
We need your help to spread the word! Many people have not yet heard of the Georgic Schoolroom, but with your support, we can change that. Share this opportunity with your friends, families, and communities to help us reach young adults searching for an alternative to traditional college. If you know someone feeling lost or unsure about their next steps, this class could be exactly what they need.

Testimonials:
“I thought the Georgic Schoolroom was all about training Georgics who could raise food. I was wrong. Williams's actual crop is souls. Including the soul of my son. He found confidence and responsibility. He found connection. He found stillness. And he left with the passion to live his mission”.
