We host occasional Open Houses. Please check back for dates.

A Typical Open House:
In the morning, we introduce you to CSC and Stelle: our history, where we are now, and our goals for the future. We’ll take you on a walking tour of the community and show you some of the functioning examples of sustainable living we’ve incorporated.

A light lunch is served at mid-day and in the afternoon we go into greater detail on the CSC land design project. We will explain why we’ve included the following elements in the finished design.

• Interview format writing - helped us identify the main problems and wishes
• Swales
• Linear food forests
• Chinampas
• Earth-Camp Village (cabins made from the soil beneath our feet)
• Multiple gardening techniques
• Use of small livestock

The detailed information on each of these elements can be found on the Midwest Permaculture website.
