What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?
The house and workshop are primarily heated by the sun through south facing windows. The 3 foot thick rammed earth walls and heavily insulated roof keep the heat in during the winter and out during the summer. We found that the temperature and humidity changes are more naturally in tune with our body rhythms. We grew so many fruits and vegetables from our garden and trees that we would have these fantastic canning parties. Most of the food we ate was fresh.Property Description
