About.
Welcome to the Mauser EcoHouse. A new and ongoing project by the Directors of the Mauser Harmony with Nature Foundation. Our 501(c)(3) tax exempt Foundation was incorporated in 1998 in memory of our friend and mentor, Professor Ferdinand Mauser. Our goal is to transform the EcoHouse into a center providing classes, retreats and seminars to students, professionals, interns and families, focused on sustainable living, such as growing your own organic food, composting and purchasing eco friendly products.
Since purchasing the villa, which we named Mauser EcoHouse, in Jan. 2016:
*5 swales have been excavated and planted with herbs and vegetables
*numerous trees, including banana, avocado, breadfruit & guanábana have been planted on our 1.45 acres
*herb garden plantings include oregano, wild cilantro & stevia
All in an effort to turn our little piece of land into an organic food forest.
Hard work has turned our dormant compost circle into a thriving microbial habitat.
