Artha is a place that strives to exist in harmony with our environment. This harmony includes living within the boundaries of our ecosystem as well as being in tune with our inner selves. We lead by example and offer our experiences and expertise to those who wish to learn from us.
Artha is powered by the sun. Solar thermal panels heat the domestic water and help to heat the Bed & Breakfast along with solar air collectors and wood stoves. Solar Photovoltaic panels make the electricity. We also have a large organic garden that feeds our family and B&B guests year round.
