Hostel  = 20/person. We expect to be taking reservations for the hostel and hotel no later than May 1^st.

We have noted a continued need for computer repair and recycling, and we have the opportunity to partner up with an up and coming business called Subway Computers who will put used parts to good use. So, if you have a computer that needs repairing, or parts that no longer serve you, please contact Ecoasis to schedule a drop off.

 Finally, we want to thank you all for your generous response to our request for furniture to fill our hostel and hotel rooms! We are still looking for a few items. We still need a Queen sized futon frame, Two Sets of DVD and VCR Players, blankets and pillows in good condition, space rugs, and kitchen supplies.

Our gallery space will continue to be available for workshops and events in the vein of sustainability, and locally made products will be on display for sale soon. We are still offering catering services using all local and organic ingredients. Also on the agenda for the near future is the Ecoasis Composting Program, a Movie Night every weekend, and a permaculture workshop this summer with permaculture specialist, Cathe’ Fish.
