Sustainable Foods, Farm & Gardens   

  • Tour of Solfed Farm

  • About six years ago, Larissa and Ondrej embarked on a journey to build an off-grid straw-bale house with the help of their community. Their dream was to live closer to the land and more gentle on the Earth. This tour will include learning about the process of building their house, outdoor kitchen and solar-powered farm, as well as the technical aspects of living off-grid, only 15 minutes from downtown Kalamazoo. Enjoy a morning, visiting this beautiful space and meeting this energetic couple.
