The website

We've pondered the website for a couple weeks now, getting excited about ideas then realizing the work involved. We've tracked potential outcomes, target markets, different ideas for marketing and networking. I think we have finally reached a good place.

The website will focus solely on our project...the development of a self-sustainable living system on the ranch that can accommodate a small but decent sized group of people, we're thinking about 10 houses. We will lay out maps of what we plan to do with the development and develop building codes to work with an energy grid based on renewable energy. Plots for building, irrigation, shared community features, etc. We will also blog about our experience along the way: questions raised, steps taken, lessons learned, resources used.

Hopefully people will want to talk about it with us! We are new to this, so we will certainly need feedback on our ideas from other people who have gone before us. We also hope our experience will help others as they also make the necessary changes in the future by applying our lessons learned to their specific location. We'll have open comments and forums.

Oh, and "sponsor a tree" will be a feature!
