The Oak House has an important place in the Hazel Hill story. Built by a group of people who lived on-site for six months it was our first indoor space for gathering people together. This is one of our intermediate technology buildings, meaning it uses simple off-grid technology to provide for our needs, but this requires active management on your part.
