This enterprise will utilise timber and material from the land and locality to build the planned infrastructure at Red Pig Farm and the proposed mobile cabins that will serve as the temporary low impact accommodation for the residential members.
This enterprise will be a licenced ALI business. Registered as a workers co-operative limited by guarantee members of the ALI we have the opportunity to join this company and participate in building projects.

Specialising in straw bale buildings, cob, timber-frame and rocket mass heaters the company will also create revenue streams for the farm by taking on building projects both regionally and nationally and through the construction and marketing of the mobile wood cabins.
The Agroecology Building Company will also build and maintain a wood processing and carpentry workshop at Red Pig Farm with a small scale saw-mill powered by the on-site hydro-electric generator.
