Introduction to a green ostrich ranch


Well let's see, last year we purchased 20 acres in Nevada's' Pilot Valley and will be making our first trip very soon. On this visit we will be exploring the landscape and planning for our future home.


With everything that's going on in this country and no less the planet we feel it's important to take extreme steps toward green living. Planning on building a self sufficient ostrich ranch and possibly a small petting zoo as well where visitors will be welcome.


Currently I am looking into organic building techniques and want to build in a style known as earthbag. Using composting, solar power and wind generators; we want to stay off grid.


We will be posting as research continues, including photos and new ideas as they come in.


Any advice or comments are welcome. michaeltimestwo@yahoo.com
