Connection to food also includes the kitchen and help preparing the food for our nourishment.
NATURAL BUILDING AND HOW TO BUILD WITH RAMMED EARTH
The first 3 months of 2020 will see us build using a technique called SIREWall, which stands for Structurally Insulated Rammed Earth. Learn More about SIREWALL here.
