Biography

transplant from MA to VT; still working a corporate job but trying to add some homestead features to my home (where I live w/ my wife & her mom & our 2 wild toddlers) and hoping to create a little ecovillage of sorts on 5+acres of remote, hillside land an hour away...when I can spare a few minutes.
Looking to connect w/ others w/ similar dreams/goals, especially around the ideas of sustainable living in this climate (construction, systems, food systems, etc)

Earthbag Homes in Maine...is it possible? anyone have one?

I'd LOVE to hear any updates from the folks in Maine - any luck with earthbag building so far?

I can't make much comment on the models as I only have theoretical understanding at the moment. I did make use of the contour map generator though. So thanks!

I'm echoing this comment; I have dreams and a bit of knowledge (and not much time lately, due to small children, etc) but am currently in VT and would love to connect with like-minded folks in the area. My family homestead has some cool features and a few dreams/plans that I'd love to work on with help (cob oven, hugelkultur, fruit trees, gardens, possibly a small earthbag/strawbale/cordwood/? studio with attached greenhouse & RMH w/ cob bench...whew) plus I have 5 acres in the woods of central VT on which I'd love to do even more cool permie stuff.

Please message me if any of this interests you :)
