In May, 2009, together with five others, I purchased a horse-farm about one and half hour’s drive out of Stockholm, Sweden. The intention is to transform the site into a co-housing combi-farm, or Eco-unit.

View pictures of the farm here, and learn more of the background to what an Eco-unit is here.

To get started we have been holding courses in permaculture, natural building techniques and local economic development. And of course there is always a lot of work to do!

I will be sharing experiences with developing the site and the community over the coming months.
