Hunt Utilities Group, LLC is a forming a ecological living campus in Pine River, Minnesota. They have constructed a building system made of natural building materials; clay, sand, straw, and wood. They have also employed passive solar and geothermal heating to make it through the bitter cold winters. In this video Ryan Hunt shows us around the campus and the gigantic cob mixer.
