Join us at the Texas Tumbleweed Ranch!
Our aim is to create an experience that will provide lasting friendships and knowledge for the better of the whole of the planet.
We not only build hemp houses, we connect people.
Start to Finish Gnome Home!
Many of us built tree forts when we were kids. It is how I got my start in tiny house building. We used what was available on the land we had. It was branches, sticks logs, old pallets, anything we could source that we could find a use. This is what we will be doing at the TTR in 2020. Come be a part of a this project that is a first of its kind anywhere. It really does speak to my heart to build this way. We will gather on the ranch, find just the right logs, sticks, branches, rocks, stones, dirt and clay and make them into a natural, beautiful, healthy, comfortable structure that will truly be one of a kind. You will learn to plan a simple project, source the materials, assemble the structural frame and then cast the hempcrete onto the building. We will let the wood flow as we use nature to create a magical structure. We will learn from the animals, we will learn from ancient humans how to build ourselves a Hemp Gnome Home. We will install doors, windows, and the roofing. We will plaster the inside and work on finishing techniques that will make this tiny hobbit house a treasure that many will enjoy for years to come. What is really cool is you will be able to come back and stay in the place you help build as it will be for rent as a B*B. You will gain not only valuable experience and skills in natural building but you will become a part of a larger team and mission as we help each other grow along a path that is better for ourselves, each other and the planet.
