BusinessBioHarmony is a SolarPunk BioRegional project stewarded by Jacob and Victoria Foster. They are focused on building and collaborating towards a network of OpenSource Regenerative Communities. The project explores architecture, technology, and bioregionalism -- building towards a network of intentional communities. Through practical projects and experimentation, they explore appropriate technology in the Ozarks. BioHarmony documents and shares their experience and solutions, open-source and free for all. The immediate project is creating a spin on EarthShip architecture that is adapted to the Ozarks. The aim is to create a low-cost DIY-able housing solution that blurs the lines between glamping and sustainable living. The long term vision includes a BioRegional EcoCenter that teaches and models how to live in harmony with local natural resources, spawning sister villages for marginalized peoples that build resilient local networks and localized circular systems.
Project story
Jacob left the corporate software world searching for something more meaningful—balance, connection to nature, and work that matters beyond quarterly earnings. Years of dreaming have crystallized into action.
Since stepping away, Jacob has rebuilt his family relationships and transformed his approach to money, technology, and the natural world. Today, BioHarmony stands on real land in the Ozarks, where Jacob and his family have been experimenting with innovative SolarPunk Appropriate Technology solutions.
What started as a personal journey has evolved into community building. However, self-funding while supporting a family has kept progress deliberate and careful. The infrastructure is in place. The connections have been made. Now BioHarmony is ready to scale.
This campaign funds community workshops that will transform BioHarmony from a family experiment into a living laboratory. Together, we'll demonstrate sustainable technology, build local resilience, and prove that a different way of living is possible—one workshop, one conversation, one community at a time.
