The tour starts at 14:00 with an introduction at the exhibition "Natural Resources at Ecotopia" at the Ecotopia meeting point.
The exhibition, based on the farm's permaculture design, is divided into seven areas: Eco-building, Energy, Water, Wild Food and Drink, Utility Plants, Cultivated Food and Drink, and Farm Utility Animals.
During the tour presents sustainable solutions in a natural environment.
This guided tour aims to inspire ecological, energy-saving and climate-smart building from a holistic perspective. Natural houses such as straw bale houses and building with clay, stone, earth and wood. Insulating with flax, hemp, sheep's wool and cellulose. But also building conservation, recycling and reuse. Painting with egg oil tempera, linseed oil paint and mineral paint. Closed-loop sewerage and waterworks. Solar electricity and solar thermal in combined heating systems. Natural resources such as wild edible plants, medicinal plants, useful animals and insects and storage in cellars, etc.
As we have also built a villa using straw bale technology, the tour ends in this self-build.
