“A sustainable system is a system that in its lifetime can produce more energy than it takes to establish and maintain it.”
— Bill Mollison

Our Approach
We are dedicated to cultivating regenerative systems that reflect the deep interdependence between human communities and the natural world. We are committed to principles and practices that encourage and support good environmental stewardship, and help build community. Our vision is of ecologically resilient communities that grow food, compost, harvest rainwater, create and use energy responsibly, build sustainably, reduce consumption, and intentionally support nonhuman life, and generally live in ways that support the human, and more than human world. These communities must be shaped not only by ecological insight, but by cooperation, care, and a commitment to the places they inhabit. Our commitment is to fostering this resilience through consulting, education, and hands-on collaboration.
