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.
