Teal Farm
is a future-looking farm, ecological preserve,
and residence seeking to prototype perpetual food, building, and
energy systems that are responsive to climate change, fluctuating
energy supplies, and a shifting global economy. |

Encircled by Camels
Hump State forest and privately-
owned preserved lands, Teal Farm is a
world unto itself.
Its 540-acres, bordered to the North by Brushy Brook,
includes a tainably-managed northern hardwood watershed
with streams,
pond, wetlands, an extensive trail network,
waterfalls, and mountain
pastures. The farm complex,
surrounded by stunning mountain views,
includes an
8,000-square foot c. 1865 renovated/new Farmhouse, a
new
12,000-square foot insulated Energy Barn, an antique post and beam barn
recently converted into a studio
apartment,
a property-manager’s residence, and a utility
barn/garage. The Farmhouse
and Energy Barn run on a
state-of-the-art renewable heat and electrical
system,
and marry cutting-edge technology with exquisite design
and
craftsmanship--arguably setting a whole new
standard for green design
and construction.

As part of the Farm’s
100-year master plan, a young,
10-acre permaculture orchard of fruits, nuts, fuel-wood, berries, and
fertilizing groundcovers grows in the sculpted micro-climates around the
buildings. Teal Farm is a place
of inspiration, a creative retreat, and a living laboratory, intended to
support innovation around issues of global relevance.

Teal Farm
is a project of
LivingFuture, a non-profit foundation and project
collaborative whose mission is to create conditions perpetually
conducive to life, and to expand human creative capacity.
