We are thrilled to announce the launch of BIOS Farm, the latest and most exciting development in our mission to revolutionize sustainable living, construction, and agriculture. BIOS Farm is the cornerstone of a groundbreaking partnership between Steve Schappert, founder of BIOS Homes, and Aldrick Hamilton, an expert in energy efficiency and insulation.
This collaboration marks the beginning of a strategic venture that will redefine how we approach sustainable farming, building materials, and energy-efficient homes.
How It All Began: A Shared Vision for Sustainability
The story of BIOS Farm began with a professional collaboration between Steve Schappert and Aldrick Hamilton, who first connected through Connecticut Real Estate. As buyer and agent, they explored numerous homes in similar price ranges. After examining several smaller properties, they found the perfect fit—an expansive 2600 sq. ft. home on 2+ acres, nestled alongside a tranquil pond and featuring a large 4-bay barn. This picturesque property quickly became the ideal space for their shared vision.
As the two continued to work together, Steve shared the BIOS Homes concept with Aldrick, outlining the bold plans for sustainable, affordable housing powered by eco-friendly materials like hemp and bamboo. Aldrick, with his extensive knowledge of energy-efficient building practices, was instantly captivated by the idea of integrating these principles with sustainable agriculture.
What started as a professional relationship soon blossomed into a handshake agreement, and the seeds of BIOS Farm were planted. Together, they aim to create a model for sustainable living and farming, focusing on innovative natural building materials, energy efficiency, and regenerative agriculture.
BIOS Farm: A New Era of Sustainable Agriculture and Building
BIOS Farm will serve as the experimental and development hub for our vision of the future. The property’s barn and open space will be used to:
- Test natural building materials, such as hempcrete, hemboo insulation and bamboo, to create sustainable, eco-friendly homes and structures.
- Develop planting protocols for hemp and bamboo, experimenting with their growth cycles and how they can work in harmony to improve soil health, increase growing seasons, and produce high-quality materials for construction.
- Focus on energy-efficient farming techniques, using the knowledge of Aldrick Hamilton to implement systems that lower the carbon footprint of agriculture, such as solar-powered irrigation and renewable energy sources.
The Growing Strategic Partnership
The partnership between Steve Schappert and Aldrick Hamilton is more than just a handshake agreement—it’s a shared vision that combines real estate, construction, and sustainability into a model that we hope will inspire others in the industry. As BIOS Homes continues to innovate in the world of eco-friendly homes, BIOS Farm will be a key component in proving that sustainable living can begin with the land itself.
With Aldrick’s expertise in insulation and energy efficiency, combined with Steve’s knowledge of real estate development and sustainable building, BIOS Farm will showcase the power of combining natural resources with cutting-edge technology to create energy-efficient homes and eco-friendly communities.
The Future of BIOS Farm
As BIOS Farm continues to evolve, we envision it becoming a model farm for sustainable living and farming practices. It will serve as a testbed for new ideas in both agriculture and construction, providing real-world examples of how sustainable practices can be scaled to meet the demands of modern society.
BIOS Farm is just the beginning of a much larger mission to create a network of sustainable homes and communities across the country. With the knowledge, innovation, and dedication of our team, we are confident that BIOS Farm will be the first of many initiatives that pave the way for a sustainable future.
Stay tuned for updates, as we begin this exciting journey toward a greener, more sustainable future.
