Are you an artisan, craftsman or craftswoman, antiques dealer, architectural salvage dealer, fleamarket picker, food truck owner, purveyor of farm-raised or homemade foodstuffs, musician, performance artist, or maker and seller of handmade goods of any kind (MADE IN AMERICA)? We’re also seeking companies providing eco-green buillding materials — woodstoves, solar heating/cooling, windmills, composting toilets, reclaimed building materials, garden tractors & tools, pond supplies, etc.

SalvageFaire may be just the opportunity you’ve been looking for!

SalvageFaire is our upcoming Pure Salvage Living Renaissance Year-Round Market, opening in 2013. Read more about it here.

On our 42 acres in Luling, Texas, at the junction of I-80 and Interstate 10, we’re building the ultimate Vintage & Antiques Market, Farmer’s Market, Community Retreat and Eco-Building Learning Center all in one! Everything Recycled, Upcycled, Re-used, Re-Imagined, Handmade, Handcrafted, and Made in America! It will be a place to see, learn how, and become a part of a renaissance in Self Sufficiency, Life Skills, and a simpler, more fulfilling lifestyle.

We are planning to be selective about our Vendors – this isn’t going to be a cheap mercado of toxic, plastic junk and imported goods, we’re crafting a market for top quality, handmade or vintage Made in USA items – crafts, antiques, handmade furniture, vintage architectural materials, artisanal & organic foods, heirloom seeds and farm animals, eco-green living products, and more.

Please add your company name to our list now so we can contact you when Vendor space availablity begins!

It’s a Pure Salvage Living Renaissance Year-Round Market for Members Only!

On our 42 acres in Luling, Texas, at the junction of I-80 and Interstate 10, we’re building the ultimate Vintage & Antiques Market, Farmer’s Market, Community Retreat and Eco-Building Learning Center all in one! Everything Recycled, Upcycled, Re-used, Re-Imagined, Handmade, Handcrafted, and Made in America! It will be a place to see, learn how, and become a part of a renaissance in Self Sufficiency, Life Skills, and a simpler more fulfilling lifestyle.

The SalvageFaire market will be nestled amongst our Tiny Texas Territories – acreage where folks will have the opportunity to rent, lease or own one of our Tiny Texas Houses in a true community setting. As in the markets of yore,SalvageFaire plays a crucial role in our community – offering folks a place to sell, barter or trade all manner of homemade, handcrafted and vintage goods, heirloom produce and animals, and organic foodstuffs – selected by us to be of good quality and not imported plastic junk or GMO laden franken-foods.

Think of it as the Renaissance Faire for today’s eco-friendly Artisans, holistic care givers for massage, acupuncture, and herbal oriented lifestyles, Craftspersons and Vintage Antique & Salvage Vendors. This space will allow us to create a central Entertainment area, plenty of parking, full bathhouse facilities, overnight and short-term RV rental & Overnight Camping spaces and more will be available. It’s a grand vision, and with your help, we’ll make it a reality in 2013!

We are opening the door for charter members of this first SalvageFaire to get long term lease options and cut their costs by participating in building their own creative and unique booths that will catch the eye of millions going down Interstate 10. The first vendors will have the choice spots along the parking lots and with the best frontage, traffic, and visibility. This is a rare opportunity with 18,000,000 people living within a two hour drive in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. It is facing Interstate highway 10 and should generate many followers for decades to come.

Now is the chance to buy into a space, invest your energy to build with the biggest selection of cool salvaged materials anywhere, supplied by me for each site, plans must meet approval of course, and Eclectic is King. I have all the parts and pieces, thousands of square feet of tin for roofs over vending areas, lumber, ceramic tile, windows, and resources to supply those who want to be part of this with the means to make it happen. Let’s make the most incredible market in the USA, for the USA, so that we can prove it works and that it can be done over and again across this vast and incredible country.

This drawing shows SalvageFaire in the middle, Tiny Texas Houses at the top left which also houses the Pure Salvage Outpost, our giant retail outlet for all the things we use to build Tiny Texas Houses and much more that is too big to use on Tiny Houses.

We will be having a Grand Opening of that building as a retail store in October of 2012.

Googlemap 20501 East IH 10, Luling, Texas and on the south side of the highway, within 45 minutes to Austin and San Antonio, an hour and a half to Houston or less to the coast. We have city water, city sewer available and tapped. We have a well we can purify for water too, along with rainwater, but we need more capture systems for our massive roof line on the main facility. You can nearly see the outline of the 48 acres just by the fence lines.

SalvageFaire has a building in place with electric and water, a septic in addition to the city sewer, a giant parking lot ready, materials to build the covered market spaces below and a tiny house above to stay in on weekends. We plan to host events, whether music, festivals, weddings, or other events that various villages will sponsor once we get rolling.

Finally, after 30 years of preparation, a vision is about to materialize. 100,000 square feet of inventory, doors, windows, flooring, sidings, trim, tile for roofs at the market and the pavilions, beams of all kinds, tin to cover 150 houses, and hundreds of feet of market spaces with the trusses to do much of it as well.

Now, after decades of hoping others would want to join in, here is the chance to find out that “if you get all the parts, the place, the proof it is possible, and the time is right for people to finally give up the ways that have not worked and create a new world out of the best of the past, and the spiritually aware use of modern technology for good, not war, riches, and creating unhappiness throughout humanity.

Here is the chance to be part of the proof it is possible but it means being able to commit, be reasonably sane, positive, ready to make new friends and create the foundations for a global community founded at a local level. This must be done by the masses, by people willing to make the sacrifices and do the work it will take to turn this into a national renaissance in self sufficiency.

These are intended to be started by mentors who realize it is not what we have but what we do with what we have in the end. Our generation, after causing so much harm, has the chance to unite people again to save the world by doing the obvious, saving the gifts that we have all around us to rebuild with rather than be dependent on imports. It means preserving the wisdom and knowledge of our elders before it is lost while also respecting the hard work and incredible hardware, parts, and pieces that our forefathers created for us to use.

This is about the freedoms of choice, to be educated without government intervention, free to live a spiritual life of our choosing, live with a tiny footprint, drop out of the matrix, live a relatively toxin free life, organic if we choose, and spend time with those we love. The reality must once again include the treasures we have left, the knowledge to appreciate them, and the understanding that the world can not produce it all again, so what we have is what we will leave behind to when we are gone.

Only a few houses are in place, but the materials, space to build more, spaces to put them when they are done, and the means to ultimately fuel this and others like it down the road by having the Pure Salvage Outposts and SalvageFaire Markets, the Tiny Texas Territories and other Pure Salvage Territories in other states joining together to form a web that will move information, materials, plans, people for villages where they are needed for their talents, and much more.

The membership will give us the ability to dispatch salvage projects all over with people who have been taught, certified, and empowered to go out and change the world, one house, one building, or one barn at a time so as to create millions of Tiny Houses that will last for centuries in sensible villages once more.
