This is how the Natural Homes website works...

The Natural Homes Journey

We have three publication timelines on Natural Homes, one about natural building, one about natural living and one [new as of May 2015] about off-grid homesteading. The 28 most recent posts are displayed on each timeline as pictures like the ones below. Earlier posts are available as a random selection that you can shuffle until something catches your eye. If you are looking for something specific then you can use the search field in the menu above.

Our Facebook Groups

Each of the timelines has its own facebook group. These are Talking Natural Homes (where we talk about natural building, natural materials and architecture), The Kitchen Table (where we chat about healthy living, natural foods, natural cosmetics and generally natural living) and Permahome (where we discuss living sustainably on the land, management of water, waste and energy.).
 

Natural Homes on Social Media

As well as our Facebook groups we also share things on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest. You will find their logos in the menu above, top right. You can also enjoy Natural Homes on Facebook in fourteen languages. You will find each of the languages via their international two letter language code in the menu above e.g. Croatian [hr] and also on this website e.g. Spanish [es].
