Meet Creighton, DUG’s Director of Food Forests
Creighton Hofeditz is an educator, designer, and organizer who has spent almost fifteen years working towards a future where communities can provide more of their own essential needs and be a part of healing the earth at the same time.
Although he went to university for theater, he switched paths dramatically when he came upon permaculture design. He worked on The Permaculture Handbook with Peter Bane, and was a contributing author to The Forest Garden Greenhouse by Jerome Osentowski. He spent two years apprenticing at Bullocks’ Permaculture Homestead in Washington State, and then came back to Denver, where he taught at a public farm school for six years, organized permaculture classes for adults, and kept up a private tree care business on the side. At DUG, he established the Food Forest Program, and is regularly stunned that he gets to do this as a job.
At home he enjoys playing music, homesteading, building things, and spending time with his wife, daughter, dog, and 7 chickens.
