Green Building
High Tunnel Growing
Our high tunnel greenhouse extends our growing season, allowing us to produce food for longer periods throughout the year. This passive solar structure helps create a microclimate that's perfect for early spring and late fall growing.
By maximizing natural sunlight and heat retention, we can grow more sustainably while reducing our dependence on external resources.
Solar Stock Tank
Our innovative solar-heated stock tank demonstrates how simple solutions can make a big difference. Using the sun's energy, we keep water accessible for our animals even during cold weather.
This sustainable approach reduces our energy consumption while ensuring our livestock have access to water year-round, proving that green solutions can be both practical and efficient.
Natural Building
We embrace natural building techniques using cob, recycled tires, and other upcycled materials. Glass bottles and rigid styrofoam find new life in our structures, creating beautiful and functional spaces while keeping materials out of landfills.
These time-tested methods combined with modern upcycling create buildings that are both environmentally responsible and aesthetically pleasing, demonstrating how waste materials can become valuable resources.
