Description:
|
|
|
A visit takes visitors inside a unique green lifestyle – demonstrating real life on a
working farm. The Earthship, a passivle solar home where the family lives is contructed
of tires, cans, bottles, strawbales and re-claimed barn wood. A 5,000 gallon cistern
collects rain water from the roof. All water from inside the house drains into to giant
planters called “wetlands” where plants can be grown year round. Visitors from across the
globe take tours, go on llama treks, or take part in workshops created to teach how to use
old and new techniques to have a greener lifestyle. Workshops focus on green living,
natural gardening, strawbale construction, solar cooking, building a plastic bottle
greenhouse, and more. Staying for the noon meal is a must with three locally grown and
produced courses finished by a proper cup of British tea in a vintage china tea cup.
