A low carbon collaborative project to build a straw bale education center in South Devon.
Welcome to the Straw Bale building blog at Occombe Farm
We are proudly working with the Construction Department at South Devon College to build a new Education Centre - made from straw bales, used car tyres and larch from our woods in Torbay.
We aim to start work on the foundations in November and will be building the straw bale walls in January (pray for good weather!); in February we’ll get the roof on and from then on it’s the internal fit-out, plastering, wiring, plumbing etc. All the work will be carried out by students under proper supervision, as part of their course work.
