Welcome to the Hope Ecovillage Blog

We are pursuing the development of an Ecovillage in the Rochester, Minnesota area. An Ecovillage is an urban or rural community that strives to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life. Our vision is a village of 10-20 homes clustered to enable sharing of utilities and resources on 5-10 acres. This will be an off-the-grid development that we hope will demonstrate an alternative to a conventional low sustainability housing development. If this concept interests you, please get in touch with us and keep checking back for updates on our progress. You can comment below or email me at hope.ecovillage@gmail.com

Project Lichtnstein

I had lunch yesterday with Christian Milaster. Christian is one of the early adapters of an off-the-grid home in our neck of the woods. He built a home by Lanesboro that he named "Project Lichtnstein". Christian is an engineer by profession and he incorporated many of the technologies that we will be using in our Ecovillage and so he has a lot of experience to bring to our project. He has agreed to assist in our development. Here is his webpage:



Look forward to working with you Christian!
