This was a ground breaking year at VēV. With clear instructions to build a goshala, we cleaned up our burned forest, built roads and started building a pit house to shelter cows and cow protectors. A pond at the top of the dry creek was built to store water. Burned trees felled during road building will be used for goshala construction and firewood.
The ground is now frozen, the focus on cutting and peeling the logs needed for construction, clearing land in preparation for fencing and allowing some grass to start growing.
Our Green building efforts are expanding our living facility with chulha mass heaters, cob ovens, wattle and daub, clay slip straw walls, natural plasters, water catchment, living roofs, thatch, mud floors, woodworking, and aligning with principles of Vastu.
In the forest we collect firewood, cutting trees, building berms to retain moisture, mill for building materials. In the garden we plow, plant, water, weed, harvesting, seed save and dry fruit and greens
We need your help!
Opportunities for farming, timber framing, cob building, tent raising, and landscaping are unlimited. Volunteer and help us pioneer.

"I am hopeful and optimistic that the ongoing efforts to expand the Varnasrama mission will be successful as we open new avenues to introduce more and more people to Krishna consciousness.
I pray for the blessings from Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Sri Sri Krishna Balarama that we may all become more and more instrumental in assisting Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu in spreading the Sankirtan Movement."
