Middle Tennessee Tour of Alternative Homes

Our annual tour is part of the American Solar Energy Society's National Solar Tour, which opens thousands of homes and buildings throughout the country to educate the public on renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and practices that support a sustainable energy economy. Tours show attendees how home and building owners who provide their power needs from the sun and wind save energy from building design and energy-efficient appliances, protect against power outages, and reduce their impact on the environment.

This year's tour on Sunday June 7, 2009 will showcase off-grid and grid-tie homes in Lewis, Wayne, Hickman, and Lawrence counties, passive solar, solar hot water heaters, a windmill, alternative vehicles, natural buildings, water catchment systems, organic gardens and more! The tour is free to residents of Middle Tennessee. Donations are encouraged. Costs apply if accommodations, meals or transportation are needed. Lodging, meals and shuttles are available nearby. You can contact inn@thefarm.org for details. The tour fee for non-Tennessee residents is $25 for the day. There is a $10 recommended donation for residents.  Ride sharing recommended.
