Title
IronStraw - Stronger Communities through Straw Building
Description
About IronStraw
The IronStraw Group became active as a nonprofit in 1999 after five years of building strawbale homes in the private market. IronStraw relocated to "Straw Country" in central Washington State and partnered with the Washington Association of Wheat Growers and 85 other organizations and businesses in IronStraw's Partnership Program. Our goal is to make "Stronger Communities through Strawbale Building."
Awarded the prestigious Founders of a New Northwest award by Sustainable Northwest, the IronStraw Group is a compact, dynamic, and effective organization promoting sustainable building.
If you've ever seen a house built from bales of straw you know why we chose such an unusual name to describe our nonprofit. Hauling and then stacking 80 pound bales of tightly compressed straw creates a wall system that is so strong that you can literally run around on top of them. This begins to tell you the strength, the iron, which underlies this method of construction of strawbale homes.
