The BMR Story

A cornerstone of Blue Moon Rising is that nothing goes to waste. Each and every tree that was removed was carefully evaluated so they could be reused elsewhere on the project. Whether as trim, a support post, or simply as wood to fuel the highly efficient masonry stove, these trees have been given a new life in the fabric of Blue Moon Rising. The dirt removed during excavating foundations was carefully sifted and mixed with clay, water, and lime to become the natural plaster coatings on the interior and exterior straw bale walls of our flagship building, “The Leap”.

With construction complete, we continue to apply earth-first principles to the day-to-day operations of Blue Moon Rising.
