But, more about that in a minute… First, to update, it’s been a busy year for Saba Cooperative. We spent most of the spring and early summer preparingContinue reading “Spring Is On The Way!”

Dome Sweet Dome
Today’s post brings more exciting news from Saba Cooperative that almost seems serendipitous. To update, we have greatly enjoyed our stay in Hillsborough, interacting with good people, experiencing wonderful musical moments and enlightening discussions, however we have found another opportunity that just seems so right for Saba. Our friends with a property in Henniker, NHContinue reading “Dome Sweet Dome”
Great News!
We are pleased to announce that the Saba community has found a new home in Hillsborough, NH! The land we have moved to has 140 acres of hills, valleys, forests and rocky cliffs with fruit trees and other perennial gardens, a stream, and even a swimming hole! There are opportunities for seasonal activities such asContinue reading “Great News!”
Winter, Tiny Homes, and Tiny Chicken Coops
The days have been getting shorter and the nights colder, so here’s a picture we hope will warm your heart: As hard as we try, and as hard as those rocks are, our wood-burning stove here just doesn’t rock as hard as a rocket mass heater would. That’s why the earth sheltered tiny home designContinue reading “Winter, Tiny Homes, and Tiny Chicken Coops”
Fall Is Here
The leaves are changing colors and we’re staying busy here at Saba. Members are looking forward to attending the upcoming local harvest fair: Grafton Apple Fest. We plan on combining our participation in the cooking contest with an on-site demonstration of the practicality of rocket stove technology: making hot food available to the hungry byContinue reading “Fall Is Here”
Long Overdue Update
It’s been quite a while since we last updated, and so much has happened. Besides attending two festivals back-to-back, moving to a new temporary location, and continuing our search for land, we’ve been implementing several permaculture projects in an attempt to reduce both our financial costs and our impact on the environment. Whether these projectsContinue reading “Long Overdue Update”

Speaking of, the next festival we’re planning onContinue reading “Festival Recap, New Member, and More”
Springtime at Saba
It’s springtime at Saba; the leaves are budding on the trees, the dandelions are in bloom, and we’ve been busily working towards our vision of tomorrow. We’re very close to making an offer on a southern-facing hillside, and we’ll keep you updated on our progress. We sent in an updated Earth Island sponsorship proposal withContinue reading “Springtime at Saba”
Permaculture Update and Visionaries Page Added
Saba’s Wholly Permaculture Bible has been updated. Now it’s no longer just a placeholder, as our first complete page has been added, and the beginnings of the species list is coming together. We’re hoping to make regular updates to the Permaculture Bible by adding at least 1-2 new pages a week for as long asContinue reading “Permaculture Update and Visionaries Page Added”
First Week of April
Our first week being open in Grantham was fairly laid-back but still productive. The daily hour of meditation ended up being mostly a time to meditate on producing various crafts, (like jewelry, clothing, bags, candles, etc.) to raise funds during upcoming summer festivals. Our daily Yoga practice has been going well, and today our goodContinue reading “First Week of April”
