Our Mission
is to preserve, study, and exchange low-capital technologies to increase the sustainability and productivity of rural communities.

Our Vision
is to share our rural heritage with the world in a humble way that offers understanding of local conditions, gives promise for generations to come, and encourages an attitude of experimentation.
