The community's main interests are: Sustainable construction, experimental methods
in building and use of materials. Developing their own regulations. Debt-free values
to avoid speculation and aim of financial freedom. Goals of zero waste, use of
renewable energies, recycling and reuse of resources. Developing businesses to create
a living town. Diversity in all aspects of community building, culture sharing and care
for the land, owned by a fund managed by members of the association.

The guided tour I was invited to showed us the sections of the village, with creative
architecture and gardens. Each one using different building techniques, developing
sustainable applied design. The same approach is used to gardens and potagers.
In recent years, Restaurant Moment has designed and develop an organic vegetable
garden and greenhouse, that provides with all ingredients for its menu, and is already
serving to other businesses in the area.
