About.
EcoJoya is about creating a new paradigm in living—a new paradigm in which people live in community with each other and with their local ecosystems. Mutual honor and respect for one another as well as for the health of the environment are paramount. Living sustainably and working with nature using permaculture and similar guiding principles preserve a joyful happy lifestyle.
We are and will be experimenting with various natural and alternative structures, including earth-bag, bamboo, geodesic, bermed, cobb, and various prefab options etc.
Long term goals include living with multiple families who share our values. Working together to help with our cottage businesses and educate our children together in a home schooling environment. Lots of money is not required or at all in some cases. We are more interested in skills and productive people.
