Learn about cob building to live sustainably, off-grid, and connected to the earth. There's a lot of manual labor involved in building a cordwood house, however the structures can last for many year. By constructing our living spaces in a natural way, we keep our lives simple yet sublime in service to Lord Krishna.
Cob Materials
Cob is made from local materials: straw, earth, clay and cow dung. The clay comes from our ponds and lakes. The straw is coming from tall grass cut in our garden and dried in the hot sun. The cow manure comes from "visiting" cows to our village.
Our aim is to construct high quality living earth structures, such as cob benches, wood fired ovens, and adobe saunas encouraging community involvement through educational workshops and gatherings around the finished project, promoting a healthy, simple and creative lifestyle harmonious with the flow of Mother Nature.
