Is FrogSong an ecovillage?

While FrogSong possesses some attributes of an ecovillage (human scale, supportive of healthy human development) we do not consider ourselves one. We have a large impact on the natural world due to our dependency on the grid for most of our electricity, piped in natural gas for heat, and municipal services for water, sewer, landfill, and recycling. Nor are we a full-featured settlement because we lack a manufacturing component. In addition, food production is underrepresented in our land use.
