We planned the earthworks for the camping to start around 2020. Just before we could get started things got complicated by a sudden panic about a virus. Then also the weather phenomenon La Niña started and lasted for 3 years. La Niña brings a lot of rain to our region and it was impossible to... Read More

EcoGay was setup as a gay community movement. Sustainability takes a village to achieve and since that is what we believe we should be aiming for, we were always looking forward to this moment. We worked out all questions we had for the best possible setup of EcoGay and we have the designs clear now.... Read More

We have two main jobs for this year… During the dry period, which lasts mostly until September or October, we need to build. And then when the rains come back we need to plant and seed. We posted some pictures and a bit of a story why our building process looks like it does… You... Read More

At least it’s clear that a growing amount of people manage to find us and take an interest in living with... Read More

It might sound as a minor thing, but the city finally fixed the public road to the farms around here, sort of. The last time it was properly done was 4 years ago. To keep the dirt roads around here in proper condition they need maintenance once a year and an overhaul every two years.... Read More

Our sow gave birth to new piglets on Tuesday. We expected a nest of about ten, but only three came out. One of them was a stillborn piglet, so there are just two left. A disappointment in one way, sort of a relief in another way because we were not ready to house another big... Read More
