Colorado Springs Urban Homesteading

We are a group of folks in Colorado Springs who are interested in local food production, small scale renewable energy production, water conservation, sustainable economies, restoring the built environment while respecting historic architecture, and social justice and food equity for all community members. We have diverse talents and backgrounds, as well as a wide range of life experiences. We are excited to share all that we can, and to learn much more from other members of this growing community. Welcome!
