Ecology


Yokoji is run on ecological principles. We are off-grid, primarily harnessing power from the sun and the wind, and using a diesel generator as back-up. We have two on-site wells which provide us with all of our water. Turn on any faucet at the Center and you will have natural, stone filtered mineral water on demand.


We have a strictly vegetarian kitchen which composts all food scraps, and an occasional vegetable garden to grow a small amount of produce with the compost we create. An orchard of apple and pear trees gives us an annual bounty of organic fruit. We try and use organic produce where possible and buy locally when we can. We are an example of a small community that lives harmoniously with our environment.
