The Eco Village


One area on the farm is for my program...the Eco Village.

In my area there is a main dome where we meet for classes and eat our meals. There are eight other domes where we live. Two people in each dome. My roommate Paige is awesome. She’s 23 and has traveled all through South America this last year.

We have an outhouse that we use for our restroom…instead of flushing we throw mulch over our business. That way it never smells. Our kitchen is amazing. Our dishwashing sinks are outdoor and the view is amazing as it over looks the valley below. We have two indoor showers and one outdoor and all our hot water is made by the sun. Every dome including the kitchen has lights that are also solar powered.

    Gross! Are there regular restrooms on the premises, or does everyone have to use an outhouse?
