11 AM - Session 2 featuring Nancy and Alan Meyer who will discuss their solar powered regenerative farm.

Alan and Nancy moved to their 1904 farmhouse on five acres in summer 2000. Over the years they have restored the home in an environmentally conscious way, while also maintaining and developing the grounds to provide as much of their food as possible. Today they have two solar arrays, passive solar, solar hot water, geothermal heating and cooling, and other alternative energy installations. Their 3200 sq ft all-electric home requires only $600 in annual electricity bills, including the cost of charging two electric cars and battery-powered yard equipment. They were able to remove their propane tank in January 2024, completing their transition from fossil fuel usage. The installation of a battery bank early this summer may also allow the property to be disconnected from the grid in 2026.
