We probably won’t get there till sometime in June or July….no fixed itinerary yet…so plenty of time for you folks to overhaul/create an RV spot.

I was under the impression that the sepper program could be done from an RV rather than a cabin.

Hello Tys!


You can come do the sepper program in an RV!  

If you get a site at base camp will have your own private space and be close enough all the fun things going on that you can jump into projects, group meals and game night when you want to.    You will be close to power and have the super luxury of the shower shack and willow feeders!    
Here is a little map of basecamp:

Come see all this stuff first hand!  

You can immerse yourself in community and the permaculture lifestyle.

Step outside your cabin and pick food straight from the garden.



Join the bootcamp to learn the skills you need to build your own home and create permaculture gardens.

Wheaton Labs has openings for long term residents too!  You can live on an acre of community land.  Build your own humble home and large garden with the help of our community.  You can raise livestock, grow veggies or other cottage industry to sell or trade within the community.

Learn to build beautiful, lasting structures with mud rocks and sticks.






Learn about skid-able structures.  Build your own tiny home so you can live anywhere!

Hello Tys!

I can get you all set with the particulars.

Our access road is gravel.

We are a few miles from a local camp ground with a dump station if you need one.  

You can get mail here or have things delivered to the shipping depot in Missoula.

Hello Tys!

We would love to have you summer here!

We are cool and lovely in the shade and warm in the sunshine.  

There are few great RV spots at base camp and we will be working on more this spring.

Gray water can go into the plants here and you will have access to the shower shack, willow feeders and a regular bathroom.   You can jump into project as much as you want or just hang out and enjoy the gardens and woodland.  

I think this is a neat idea if you can get organic straw.  A lot of wheat is grown with persistent herbicides and that can really diminish the health of your soil and garden plants.

Can we stop by and meet some like-minded folks?

Hello Jordan!

June is a beautiful time to be in Montana!  It would be great to have you guys visit.  You will want to plan to stay a few days or more.  Here is the link to our cabin and tent site rentals:

Hello Allen!


I just sent you an email.

You can go to our rentals page and pick out your cabin.  Just click the like to reserve it.

Hello Joshua!

That looks like Creeping Woodsorrel.

I like to nibble on them, they have kind of a lemony flavor.  They are a common weed that comes with nursery transplants.   I think they are nice but some people find them to be trouble because they will spread.  You can just pull them out and give them to your chickens or rabbits.  
They can be beneficial by providing ground cover, suppressing other weeds, adding organic matter and attracting pollinators,
