Tampico,
Mexico
Open the door to opportunity
 This is a community in the planning stages here in the Tampico, Mexico area. We have a climate which permits year round organic gardening and wonderful solar and wind energy opportunities. I have begun and experimental earth bag cottage in my backyard which will combine recess, straw bale, and earth bottle construction as well. After this I will build a two bedroom cottage at the community site right alongside the Panuco river in the Sate of Veracruz Mexico. It is about 33kms. from the city where I live Tampico. I presently have a large organic garden, raise rabbits, chickens and Mario (Italian) the owner of the land has about 20 cows.
My dream is to have about 20 two bedroom homes of similar construction that folks could live on part-time or full time.
