ABOUT

In November of 2014, we purchased an abandoned (5 years) vacant (a boarded up former crack house, with most of the windows broken, smashed walls, electrical wiring stripped, overgrown with weeds...) in the city of Las Vegas, on one 3rd of an acre with the intention of showing how you can grow a Sustainable and Veganic Food Forest... in the DESERT!
We are rebuilding the house and transforming the land (covered in weeds and landscape rocks, with plastic weeds barrier) and soil (in many places embedded with trash/plastic).
In addition to making many energy saving upgrades for the home, we are sourcing as much as possible from local resources and growing as much diversity and variety as is possible and reasonable for our food forest.

Food Garden Forest 700

Our Plan:

1) Do more educational articles and videos,
2) Have classes and tours both from us and experts,
3) Use our home and food forest project as a demonstration as to what is possible with accurate information, knowledgeable consultants and some smart and hard work!

Our Guiding Principles:

1) Avoidance, reduction and removal of pollution, toxins, harmful chemicals...

2) No use of any animal products or byproducts from animals who are subjected to the common practices of: confinement, imprisonment, abuse, reproductively manipulated, kidnapping, body mutilations, killing...

3) Sharing, co-existing, working with, seeking first to understand, patience... and the like,
as opposed to: domination, dictatorship, annihilation, murderous rampage, revenge...

4) Seeking out and collecting highly accurate: advisors and information 

5) Using and working towards applying the most eco-friendly: products, services, and tools

6) Refuse, Reduce, Repair, Recycle, Reinvent, Rethink, Resource as much as possible from local resources

7) Learn, share, coach/mentor, consult and train others, and be a space for those who want to do the same 

Side note - So far our marriage has survived this project, so we are looking for much more challenging projects in the future! If you have relationship challenging project ideas please send them our way. ;-)
