More about Kootenay Society for Sustainable Living and their Biointensive Center
Sharon and James are sustainable mini-farmers, natural builders, and environmentalists. Over the past 5 years they have been on a journey to become self-reliant, and to transition towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
As interns at Ecology Action they studied under John Jeavons to learn how to not only grow their own complete diet, but to bring sustainable agriculture back to their community as teachers.
Their path towards food security and sustainability inevitably led them to Natural Building. They felt blessed to meet and learn from pioneers like Micheal G. Smith of StrawClayWood, Kirk (Donkey) Mobert from the Sundog School of Natural Building, and Amanda Fischer of Muddy Hands.
All of their experiences have led them back to what’s most important: to help build a strong, healthy community of localized and sustainable living.
Kootenay Society for Sustainable Living is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of our natural resources, and the restoration of soils, habitat and biodiversity.
Growing sustainability through the teaching of Biointensive organic mini-farming, natural building, and permaculture.
