~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
                                                                                     
Touring local homes that feature
beautiful gardens, verdant farms,  interesting home energy systems -- "passive" (southern orientation,  day-lighting, super-insulated, solariums, etc.) and "active" (photovoltaics,   windmills, small-scale hydro, etc.) plus many "whole homestead" features! 

* Where the SLP Tours differ from previous Tours:
  • a single home per month, so more time at each
  • more opportunity for in-depth discussions
  • a more whole-homestead approach (gardens, grounds,
    cottage industries, farm and animals, etc., where applicable.)
    .
  • in some cases providing a hands-on experience, wherein home-owners get help with         .                  a project and attendees gain valuable knowledge and experience.
