Overview
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.  The primary design goal for the Teal Farm buildings is to mimic and mesh with the living systems that surround them, essentially transforming the built environment into a living system including making its own energy from the sun.  The "Energy Barn" houses all of the components of the renewable energy system, including solar thermal tubing (SHW), photovoltaic panels (PV), hot water tanks, a battery bank, biodiesel backup generator and wood gasification boilers.
