Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage is profiled in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch!

Residents of Missouri’s Dancing Rabbit test the limits of green living

Missouri is home to more than 50 “intentional communities,” a broad term that includes communes, co-housing, and student co-ops.

At Dancing Rabbit, for example, residents grow their own food, shun private vehicle ownership and live off the grid in homes powered by solar and wind energy generated on site…

Homes at Dancing Rabbit range from the modest – one resident lives in a renovated school bus named Aubergine – to more ornate straw bale homes complete with full kitchens.
