The two of us are currently saving up all our pennies to build a cob house and start a farm in North Georgia. Since we believe in light-weight, sustainable living we will be integrating those values into our plans. Our goal is to capture and utilize energy from the sun to power our home and be completely off the grid. This may require certain sacrifices but we are excited to see what we can live without (and consequently learn how do to by hand).
The land is roughly 50 acres near the base of the mountains in Toccoa, GA. Currently, it is vacant and needs a lot of attention before we start hauling in supplies to begin the build. There’s so much to do; clear trees, make a driveway, decide on pond, farm and house location, create a budget, organize ourselves…
That’s what this site is all about. It’s a chronicle for us, our friends and family and others who are interested in such things as cob building and farming. We want to share what we learn (all the mistakes, research and little victories) with as many people as possible.
This is our dream, our big adventure. Enjoy! :)
