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.
