Somerset, California,

We are an experiental learning center for teaching community microgrid technolgies, self-reliant living and integrated renewable energies.

We are looking for help with continuing construction of our international learning center and expanding our biodynamic gardens.

We own our land free + clear, surrounded by national forest nestled in the Sierra, 60 miles east of Sacramento.

Owner/builder is an adjunct engineering professor in Europe (Austria) and USA.

Looking for like-minded people to form a small eco-village with co-op and shared work model similar to Sieben Linden in Germany.
