South Mountain Company on Martha’s Vineyard

There is a great article in this weeks Gazette entitled “They Came, They Saw, They Moved in: Exploring the Vineyard’s Counterculture Roots” which talks about folks that landed on Martha’s Vineyard in the 70’s. John Abrams who started South Mountain Company at that time was one of several people mentioned in the article. 37 years later SMC, a worker owned business, still design + build beautiful homes but now offer solar and deep energy retrofits to new and existing buildings. This summer camp was retrofitted with solar energy and a wood burning stove to increase energy efficiency through out the year.
