What we do

We aspire to be a demonstration, through the practice of permaculture, of how to live a satisfying life while living no more than a one-planet ecological footprint. Additionally we have the following aims:
• A nonjudgmental, loving group process to enable the inhabitants to live harmoniously together.
• Low-cost housing for those wishing to live sustainable one-planet lifestyles.
• Eat whole-foods plant-based diet (aka vegan).
• Produce most of the food for the residents on site through tending community gardens, forest gardens, and the surrounding wild lands.
• Source building materials from onsite or from nearby areas.
• Generate energy onsite.
• Balance of community and private spaces, sanctuary where dark skies and quiet can be enjoyed.
(No dogs are allowed, except certified service dogs, of course.)

Our Vision

To create a housing cluster or neighborhood at Cerro Gordo providing a sanctuary for those who want to practice living a one-planet vegan lifestyle using permaculture and natural building principles.
