Food Production
We’ve been growing Earthship Biotecture for 50 years. Literally speaking, we “grow” buildings that help to “grow” people. Most who know, consider Earthships as a kind of social reform, helping to change perspectives on how people can live. Not only live but THRIVE.
We empower people by teaching them how to build their own off-grid homes. Setting them FREE from bureaucratically tyranny. But we also teach people how to grow their own food. Possibly one of the simplest forms of radical self-reliance.
Interior, in-home, organic food production is the most recent design principle added to the Earthship concept. Earthship Biotecture employs a plant specialist who has experimented with the best plants for the interior gray-water botanical cells. She has also designed mini-hydroponic planters in suspended buckets that have added vertical growing space in the greenhouses and have tremendous yields of herbs, peppers, tomatoes, kale, beets, cucumbers, and more. The Earthship Visitor Center features all of these food-producing plants, and staff members regularly enjoy fresh produce straight off the vine. Aqua-botanical systems in the newest Earthship enhance food production capabilities with fish and nutrients from their waste.
