Eco Hacker Farm is an organization that helps to set up and support, new and existing projects that combine [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace|hackerspaces]] with [[permaculture|permaculture]] farms to provide [[a sustainable living space|a sustainable living space]] for people to experience a way of life that is not necessarily dependent on the system but using appropriate, open source and low cost technological solutions. 

By supporting [[community project|community projects]], people are able to bring their own ideas to the rest of the community and work together with others in order to implement them. 

A project in Eco Hacker Farm should grow to these [[ideals]]
