Tours

We offer public tours every Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Please arrive a little early to register. We request at least a $10 donation for the tour. The tour lasts about two hours and is mainly outdoors, so be sure to dress for the weather. Bring your own food and water. On Saturday afternoons, there are sometimes community work projects or in-depth tours of members' homesites available (the morning tour guide announces afternoon work projects or tours).

Besides regularly scheduled Saturday morning tours, our tour guides are available for two- and three-hour guided tours of Earthaven, including specialized tours focusing on natural building, permaculture design, sustainability, or other topics of interest. Contact Patricia Allison (828-664-0067;
