The business office is in historic Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, with our principal permaculture site in Southwest Virginia. Additional facilities are in Clemson, South Carolina. Our purpose is to promote sustainable living by cultivating and passing on to others the practical arts and skills necessary for self-sufficiency in food, shelter, health, and renewable, non-polluting energy.
