The Milkweed Mercantile at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage is an off-the-grid, straw bale bed & breakfast, organic cafe, and eco general store. Alline gives us a mini tour of the business, which is currently under construction, but opening soon.
The Mercantile is currently a finalist for a $10K award at Ideablob.com. Please consider voting for us if you like what we’re doing. The winnings will go towards the purchase of a wind turbine if we get enough votes. Simply visit this link and register to vote: Straw bale off-the-grid business opens!
Thanks for your support!

Congratulations! The mercantile and B&B appear to be coming along very nicely. Good luck with the contest and with the business. Hope Santa brings you an early opening day.
I’ve been following some of DRs hops for years and am looking forward to being able to visit with my family sometime and stay in your beautiful inn. Best wishes for your brother and for your continued great work.
