About Me
Hi, my name is Clauco Garofalo. The name Permacarpenter comes from my love and dedication to both permaculture design and woodworking. I am a finish carpenter and do everything from custom cabinetry to windows and doors, to unique, one-of-a-kind furniture pieces and gifts. I am originally from the island of Capri in Southern Italy where I was born and raised, steeped in beauty and an appreciation of quality craftsmanship. I moved to Canada as a young adult where I ran my own successful business as a contractor and builder. After 10 years in Canada, my family and I moved to the jungle of Belize where we created a boutique, off-grid retreat center based on permaculture design principles called Sattva Land. Since 2020, I have been living in Santa Barbara with my wife and son.
My devotion to my craft stems from an intense satisfaction that I derive from turning concept into reality. I created The Permacarpenter in 2014 as a platform to showcase and sell quality, handmade products and to help people bring their own visions to life. Sometimes in today’s modern world we can forget the beauty in the natural, beautiful, and handmade.
