Teal Farm is a future-looking farm, ecological preserve,
and residence seeking to prototype perpetual food, building,
and energy systems that are responsive to climate change,
fluctuating energy supplies, and a shifting global economy.

  
Encircled by Camels Hump State forest and privately-
owned preserved lands, Teal Farm is a world unto itself.
Its 500-acres, bordered to the North by Brushy Brook,
includes a sustainably-managed northern hardwood
watershed with streams, pond, wetlands, an extensive
trail network, waterfalls, and mountain pastures. 
The farm complex, surrounded by stunning mountain
views, includes an 8,000-square foot c. 1865 renovated
new Farmhouse, a new 12,000-square foot insulated
Energy Barn, an antique post and beam barn recently
converted into a studio apartment, a property-manager’s
residence, and a utility barn/garage. The Farmhouse and
Energy Barn run on a state-of-the-art renewable heat
and electrical system, and marry cutting-edge technology
with exquisite design and craftsmanship--arguably
setting a whole new standard for green design
and construction.
  

As part of the Farm’s 100-year master plan, a young,
10-acre permaculture orchard of fruits, nuts, fuel-wood,
berries, and fertilizing groundcovers grows in the sculpted
micro-climates around the buildings. Teal Farm is a place
of inspiration, a creative retreat, and a living laboratory,
intended to support innovation around issues
of global relevance.
  

Teal Farm is a project of LivingFuture, a non-profit
foundation and project collaborative whose mission is to
create conditions perpetually conducive to life, and to
expand human creative capacity.
