Mark Angelini: Forging Resilience. On Land. In Life.

I help people create thriving properties and live more grounded, resilient lives. My work blends ecological design, regenerative farming, and traditional craft – learned through 16+ years of hands-on practice, not just theory.

Adaptive Design: Moving beyond static plans to create landscapes that learn and evolve with you.

My Path: Learning by Doing.

From Detroit roots and a love for making things, I chose a path of direct experience. Learning from the soil, the seasons, seasoned mentors, and the inevitable failures that teach us most has shaped my approach. It’s about seeing clearly what is, understanding unique contexts, and building solutions that truly fit and adapt over time.

Creating Systems That Thrive: I apply this philosophy through:

Mountain Run Permaculture:

Guiding clients through design and consulting for resilient landscapes that match their actual capacity and goals.

Mountain Run Jam:

Cultivating connection and community through our annual gathering.

Sharing Hard-Won Insights:

Teaching workshops and authoring a forthcoming book on Adaptive Design principles.

Beyond Cookie-Cutter: Design for Real Life.

This isn’t about applying rigid formulas or chasing Instagram-worthy gardens. It’s about partnering with nature’s intelligence and your own capacity to create systems—on land, in workflow, in life—that are functional, beautiful, and genuinely sustainable for you.
