Eco Hacker Farm is an umbrella organization that helps to set up and support, new and existing projects that combine hackerspaces with permaculture farms to provide a sustainable living space for people to experience a way of life that is not necessarily dependent on the system but using appropriate, open source and low cost technological solutions. By supporting community projects, people are able to bring their own ideas to the rest of the community and work together with others in order to implement them.
a community-operated, often "not for profit" workspace where people with common interests, such as computers, machining, technology, science, digital art, or electronic art, can meet, socialize, and collaborate. Hackerspaces are comparable to other community-operated spaces with similar aims and mechanisms such as Fab Lab, men's sheds, and commercial "for-profit" companies. Hackerspace in Wikipedia.
December 2015: out on the living room balcony at Veintidos (a now defunct project or ours, except at this point the house was a couchsurfing mecca and not really a project anyway.) when Franz, whose caravan had broken down, and Aimee who was hosting him, were going over what idealistic aspirations they had for a future that seemed somewhat abstract and rather unlikely at the time. With much in common and a lot of overlap, there was a lot of talking and not much action.
Changing one thing, no matter how tiny, is still change
"Also, just as you want men to do to you, do the same way to them" (Luke 6:31)

There are lots of small, off grid homesteads here and we all try to use permaculture and alternative tech to improve our plots and quality of life. Water is the main focus of the problem/solution principle of permaculture here I speak with limited knowledge as although I have met many people who live without groundwater or access to irrigation water, I have only visited 2 plots where permaculture is actually being utilised to harvest and direct water. Most have small solar arrays and/or a genny for power and wood stoves for heat. Those of us with no onsite water have waterless loos with some actively using humanure. It would be great to set up a group to share ideas, workdays, experiences and maybe even take in volunteers short term.
We have a group on facebook for "off gridders", most know of, or use, permaculture depending where they are on the Wheaton scale. But it's not permaculture focused.
I'm not at all into computers and tech so can't comment or help on that side
Finca Verde will be setting up an Open Source Garden in Spring 2023 which will be open for day visits to people who are visiting the area and locals who would like to source their own open source seeds or buy open source, organic produce.
Aimee will run a series of workshops throughout the season both in-person and online for people who would like to learn more about growing from (open source) seeds, caring for your plants and seed-saving and storing.
All workshops will be run on a conscious donation basis. Donations will go towards maintenance and upkeep costs of the Open Source Garden at Finca Verde.
