Update on TerraSante Village...

TerraSante Village and Harmony and Health have successfully negotiated the Pima County process for Conditional Use permit, so now we have official paper existence at TerraSante Community.  A master plan for development at TSV and H&H is mapped out.

Over the next years we will be building 10 small earthen casitas for residents and guests, of variable design.  We have initiated a contest with nominal prizes, for designs that are earthen, smallish (240 ft2), and free of grid tie.  Over the summer we plan to finish the first of 3 greenhouses at TSV, this one being to provide seed starts to the garden for fall/winter.

July 27-30, we will be harvesting tipi poles around Flagstaff AZ... contact Bruce if you care to join us.

Thanks for all your help and support,
Bruce
