Lambs Quarters
Farm is transitioning into a renewable energy conservation community of 5 dwellings
bordering a 30-acre green space which will be used both for residents'
recreation and grazing grass-fed
lamb guarded by Abe, the donkey. If you are interested in
viewing a
proposed covenant or receiving more information, email janeeh1945@gmail.com
with Conservation Community in the subject line. As of August, 2012, the
County has approved the development.

Infrastructure development is in
progress now. A well serving three lots has been dug and a pressure
tank will be buried shortly. Houses will not need their own pressure
tanks. A 1000-gal LP tank is also being installed in Spring of 2013 to
serve three lots, four units. Each house will have their own gas meter and will
pay accordingly through the Covenant. Since very little LP is needed,
it is less expensive to do it this way. Price per gallon is cheaper
and enough LP will be used by all homes to avoid a surcharge. Electricity is already
accessible on each lot. Each house will have
its own account with Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative, the utility
servicing the area, with most of the electricity being produced right on the
property adjacent to the 1995 house in a 10.3 Kw system consisting of a
tracker, three pole-mounted units, and a roof mounted unit. Telephone service will be up to each
owner. Bug Tussel Wireless is the best internet service at this
time. Separate septic systems will be installed on each
lot.

Site design is taking place now,
February, 2013, along with basic house design of the first house. See first
two sites below. The plan is to have one house finished by Fall of 2013. Following
this, upon sale of the first house, a variation will be done for the second
house. Last will be a one-owner 2-unit house. All houses will
have solar thermal radiant heat and hot water backed up by wood stoves and
LP.
This drawing shows the placement
of the first two houses. Construction will begin on the one on the left
first. The 1995 house is located to the right of these two 1-acre
lots. The 2-unit house will be located to the left of these lots toward
the road. The recreational/grazing area is to the south of these
lots. North is up. To the north and on sides of the house are red
pines. To the south is prairie/grasses. The walking path goes to
the road. Car traffic will enter from the north.
