Ashe County, West Jefferson, North Carolina Mountain Mission Farms Eco-Community Project began as a small effort to build a sustainable farm and has grown to encompass an ever growing number of disciplines and an expanded community involvement. The primary mission of this project falls into four distinct areas:
The initial Mountain Mission Farm Eco-home is planned
as the first of up to seven homes to be built on sixty-six acres of land in Ashe County
near West Jefferson, North Carolina. This home will become the first model
which will feature traditional design and contemporary amenities found in most common
homes of today, yet be fully supported by alternative energy systems. In addition,
this home is significant because of its use of alternative choices in building materials,
construction, and design. The home will feature the advantages of a passive solar
design and airflow concepts that will eliminate much of the need for conventional heating
and ventilation systems. Finally, the home will use "green building
products" that will maximize the concepts of recycling, extended life cycle,
and elimination of toxic aspiration and residue. Each of the additional homes in the
village will be updated with the most current and advantageous technologies and building
systems.
