Galt’s landing community & off-grid freedom farm academy
This 5 hectares off-grid land has been designed to host 12 duplex villas, 1 school and 1 community centre in Florida, US. It is a permaculture living example of what 12 villas can look like when fully integrated as functional elements of the ecosystem. Biogas production units, solar energy, bio-intensive food production, syntropic systems, food forests, animal production, plant nurseries and common areas are designed to hold the needs of 70+ people.
To capture the incoming energies and maximise the life force potential of the land, common functional features such as water interconnected systems ( ponds, canals, storage tanks), windbreaks and buffer zones are introduced. This is a wonderful work of passion, creativity and abundance designed in partnership with Foodforestabundance and taking place right now.
This part of the project started to be implemented in 2022, pictures in the gallery on top of the page.
