Yahoo! After years of planning and building, my sustainable community infrastructure has been built. I will get the project inspected and recorded later this month. I've sold two lots but still have eight more. Check out my website at www.greenbridgefarm.com for details.

Financial Setback

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:21:29 GMT

After dealing with banks and lawyers the past month, I am happy to say that my project is once more moving forward. Construction can be ugly and messy but the end result will be worth it. We have the clearing for the road pushed through and as i write this, there is a grinder in the woods turning the pushed down trees into usable mulch. We will use the mulch for the gardens and orchards and stockpile some for potential homebuilders. Weather permitting, all of the construction should be done by the last week in March. Lot sales will begin in April. I was lucky to find a banker to take over the project after the bank that got me started , bailed. This has been a real ordeal but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have a great realtor also who believes in what I am doing and is aggressivly marketing the project. We will have an open house sometime in April so keep your eyes peeld for the invitation. Bye for now. Michael Maddox

Against all odds, I am going forward with my Green Bridge Farm project. The road is being built, people are picking out lots, and everything should be done near the end of Feb. It has been quite an ordeal but I think the effort has been worthwhile. I will post pictures as things start to firm up.

At long last, I will get my notice to proceed with the construction of my eco village, Green Bridge Farm, from Effingham County either this week or the next. Lots should start selling in late Jan. 09 or early Feb. 09. This project has taken two years to get to this point. Many people who frequent this website were instrumental in stirring up intereste in the farm. I have gotten a lot of calls recently. Visit my website for more details. thanks. Michael

hello,

I am developing a sustainable community around my existing 25 acre organic farm in Effingham county. Please check out my website. It's a long address but if you google " Green Bridge Farm" it should take you right to it. I have been working this farm for almost 20 years and it seems that all that work was meant for the present time. I've been racking my brain to figure out how savannahians could enjoy affordable local organic produce and I decided it would be cheaper in the long run to bring the people to the produce rather than bringing the produce to the people. We are circleing our wagons around my organic homestead. i've done battle with the Effingham County buracracy for the last year and a half and they have finally agreed to let me build gravel roads rather tha asphalt. I'm very excited about this project and i would love to get some feedback from the green community. Consider this a pour man's Barbour Point with an existing organic farm with fruit orchards and vegetable plots thrown in. Please contact me with your opinions and interests at 667-1118. summer Teal has agreed to do a story in the connect on the project and there has already been astory published in Effigham Now which you can link to from my website, Betsey Brairton has also done a story on the project on Sustainable Savannah. Thanks Michael
