We are a cohousing community (condominium legal structure) designed for 14 households (currently 10 built and occupied) on a working, profit-making, organic Christmas tree farm. Our modular houses have a maximum 1000 sq. footprint, high insulation, energy star appliances. The passive solar, partially earth-bermed design is enhanced by PV (3.3 kW average per house), solar domestic hot water, and high-efficiency natural gas boilers. Our on-site waste water treatment sends our blackwater through a greenhouse artifical wetland to return gray water for flushing. A community garden, individual kitchen gardens, and rainwater collection contribute to partial food self-sufficiency
