Day 8 on Route 66 and the h**pcrete dream is officially taking shape! 🌾🏡
I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for this incredible crew. Building a home like this takes a village, and having Engel, , , and Amy here with their hands in the mix, energy, and dedication means the absolute world to me.
Thank you all for showing up, bringing your heart and hustle, and helping turn this vision into reality day by day. Couldn't do this without you! ❤️✨

It’s official—the journey begins on October 17th! 🛠️🌾

We are bringing my forever home to life right on historic Route 66—making it the first (and hopefully not the last!) h**p home build along the Mother Road.

An incredible project like this doesn't happen without an extraordinary community. A massive thank you to everyone helping make this dream a reality:

• Nelson• South Bend Industrial H**p, Magik Minerals, Dion Lefebvre– 8th Fire Innovations • Magazine & Gaia Magazine – For the media love and coverage 📰 • Whitecap Masonry • Bryan Brown, Brown Bear Construction & the Amish Framing Crew – For the structural heavy lifting • Kenny Storie – For getting our foundation right with the concrete work • JB Farms – For hauling and transporting our new mixer and build materials • Bukham – For crucial minerals transportation support

🤝 WANT TO JOIN US AND GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY? We still have space for passionate volunteers who want to learn hands-on natural building techniques and be a part of Route 66 history starting October 17th!

📍 Location: Historic Route 66 Lebanon MO🗓️ Kickoff Date: October 17th 📩 How to join: Send a direct message or drop a comment below with the days you're available, and we’ll send you all the build site details and safety info!

There are moments in an industry when competition gives way to collaboration… when visionaries, builders, researchers, and innovators come together around something bigger than themselves. This is one of those moments.

We are honored to be partnering with Oregon State University and the Global H**p Innovation Center to create a first-of-its-kind h**pcrete demonstration structure — a living showcase of innovation, craftsmanship, and the future of regenerative building.

This project will bring together multiple h**pcrete installation methods, materials, and philosophies into one collaborative build environment. More than a structure, it will serve as a real-world cross section of where natural building is headed and what becomes possible when passionate people unite around a common purpose.

What makes this especially meaningful is the spirit behind it.

This isn’t just construction. It’s research. It’s education. It’s storytelling. It’s legacy work.

With a live installation and a full production crew documenting the process, we aim to capture not only the technical innovation happening in h**pcrete construction, but also the human side of this movement —

We are proud to stand alongside an extraordinary group of collaborators who continue pushing this industry forward:

State University
H**p Innovation Center (GHIC)
Merchant
Fire Innovations
H**pcrete
Atterberry
Waddell
Special appreciation to the researchers, educators, and advocates working tirelessly to bridge science, sustainability, and real-world application.

The future of building is not just stronger or more efficient. It is healthier, regenerative, community-driven, and deeply connected to the land and people it serves.

We’re grateful to be part of this moment. Stay Tuned!
