ʻO ka manaʻo o ka Lammas ecovillage kahi mahiʻai liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi e kākoʻo ana i ka manaʻo o ka piha ponoʻī ma o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻāina a me nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe. Hoʻohana ka papahana i kahi ala permaculture i ka mahiʻai ʻana, kahi mea nui o ka poʻe i ke kaiaola. Ua hoʻomaka ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o ka ecovillage ma 2009-2010. Hele mai ka poʻe o Lammas mai nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole, aia kekahi o lākou i ka ʻike o ka noho ʻana i loko o ka mana kūlohelohe, a ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou ʻaʻole. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ʻohana kahi ʻāpana waiwai 35000 - 40000 paona a me 5 mau makahiki e hoʻopau ai. Hoʻohana ʻia ka wai, ka uila a me nā ululāʻau, ʻoiai hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻāina no ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka meaʻai, biomass, eco-business a me ka hana hou ʻana i nā ʻōpala organik. ʻO ka ʻoihana kūloko e pili ana i ka hana ʻana i nā huaʻai, nā ʻanoʻano a me nā mea kanu, ka hānai ʻana i nā holoholona, ka mālama pipi, nā mea hana lāʻau, vermiculture (hoʻoulu ʻana i nā ilo honua), ka mahi ʻana i nā mea kanu lāʻau. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hāʻawi ka eco-village i ka ʻaha kūkā me kahi hōʻike e pili ana i ka holomua o nā mea hōʻailona, e like me ka make-fertility, ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻāina, a me ke kūlana kaiaola i ka noho ʻana. Pono ka papahana e hōʻike i ka hiki iā ia ke hoʻokō i ka hapa nui o nā pono o nā kamaʻāina ma o ka mahiʻai, a me ka hōʻike ʻana i nā hopena maikaʻi i ka pilikanaka, ka hoʻokele waiwai a me ke kaiapuni. Hoʻolālā ʻia a kūkulu ʻia nā hale noho āpau, nā hale hana a me nā lumi pono e nā poʻe noho ponoʻī me ke kōkua o nā mea manawaleʻa. ʻO ka hapa nui, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā mea kūlohelohe a i ʻole nā mea hana hou no ke kūkulu ʻana. ʻO ke kumukūʻai o ka hale mai 5000 - 14000 paona. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka mana uila e ka micro photovoltaic installations me ka 27kW hydro generator. Hāʻawi ʻia ka wela mai ka lāʻau (a i ʻole nā ʻōpala hoʻokele ululāʻau a i ʻole nā mea kanu coppice kūikawā). Loaʻa ka wai o ka home mai kahi kumu kūʻokoʻa, aʻo nā pono wai ʻē aʻe e uhi ʻia e ka ʻohi wai ua. ʻO ka mōʻaukala, ʻo ka ʻāina o ka eco-village he wahi hānai me ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka ʻāina, he hale ʻai ʻiʻo ia. Eia nō naʻe, me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻāina no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi noho i ka makahiki 2009, hoʻomaka ka fertilization o ka ʻāina e mālama i kahi ākea ākea ākea i mea e hoʻokō ai i nā pono kanaka. He nui nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona o Lammas i kēia manawa.
Aia ma kahi o 5 mau ʻeka o kēlā me kēia ʻāpana ʻāina a me kāna ʻāpana i ka nui o ka nahele. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana kahi hale noho, kahi wahi no ka ulu ʻana i nā mea kanu i loko (nā hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo), kahi pā hale a me kahi wahi hana (no nā holoholona, mālama a me nā hana hana). Aia ka ʻāina o ka noho ʻana ma 120-180 mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai. Ua lanakila ka ʻae hoʻolālā no Lammas ma hope o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ʻAukake 2009. Ua hāʻawi ʻia ka poʻe noho i kahi kūlana: i loko o 5 mau makahiki, pono e uhi kūʻokoʻa ka ʻāina o ka noho ʻana i ka 75% o ka pono o ka wai, ka meaʻai a me ka wahie. "wahi a kahi kamaʻāina o Jasmine." He poʻe maʻamau ka poʻe noho o Lammas: nā kumu, nā mea hoʻolālā, nā ʻenekinia a me nā mea hana lima i makemake maoli e noho "ma ka honua". Ke manaʻo nei ka Lammas Ecovillage e mālama pono iā ia iho e like me ka hiki, he kumu hoʻohālike o ke ola kūʻokoʻa a me ka hoʻomau i ka wā e hiki mai ana. Ma kahi i loaʻa ai kahi māla mahiʻai maikaʻi ʻole, ʻae ʻo Lammas i kona poʻe kamaʻāina e hana i kahi ʻāina piha i ke ola kūlohelohe a me ka waiwai.
