Our First Earthbag House, the One Detailed in Our Book, “How to Build an Earthbag Round House.”
Skills to Serve Humanity
No matter the political winds, economic tides, or even the shifting climate itself, one truth remains: it is wise and empowering to know how to build your own strong, affordable shelter.
In the practice of earth building, I’ve found medicine for both body and soul. There’s a quiet strength in knowing that earthen structures, when properly built, are as strong as a castle made of stone.
Our Story
Morgan and Mary Jane have been homesteading off-grid since before they built their first earthbag home in 2009. They held their initial public workshops in 2011, while building a sun room addition on to their earthbag roundhouse. In 2016 they started construction on a larger earthship-inspired earthbag house and have held regular natural building and sustainable living workshops ever since. In September of 2019, they held a workshop to build an earthbag tiny house, foundation to roof. That build was professionally documented and has become the basis for their online course.
