Transparent terms designed for long-term community living. No hidden costs, no speculation — just honest participation in a shared vision.

The Deal

TDF repays your loan within its 4-year term. Your unit returns to the pool.

Compact, beautifully designed homes nestled within our 7-hectare food forest. Wake up to the sounds of nature, step outside to pick your breakfast, and enjoy the privacy of forest living while remaining connected to village life.

Earthpods

Cash in stages

Financed over 5–10 years

Money matters: you typically lend €25,000–€100,000 to hold your place; it is refundable through its term until design lock. At design lock you commit and convert, or walk away per the agreement. Construction is then paid in stages (or via your chosen finance mode).

Five years of learning what works and what doesn't. A commitment to transparency and staying in relationship even when it's uncomfortable.

Invest in Europe's first DAO-governed regenerative village

Refinance in 2027–28, repay on schedule at 4-year maturity (5% p.a.; ~20% total coupon).

Base (expected)

Build/permit delays → rely more on collateral/refi; still secured by real assets; repayment may skew toward end of term.

Downside

Exit Scenarios

Faster occupancy & ADR → earlier refi (late 2026–27). Potential early principal return.

Life at TDF

Traditional Dream Factory has operated continuously since 2021, publishing annual reports and maintaining transparent governance structures. Decision-making rights are tied to participation and stewardship rather than speculative ownership.

Governance & long-term alignment

We're building a place where land is held in common, community is intentional, and belonging isn't left to chance.

Land held in trust for people and planet. Access through tokens. Restoring ecosystems by design.

A Unique Funding Model

4 000+ trees are already rooting the soil, with 10 000 more fruit and nut trees—almonds, olives, citrus, berries—on the blueprint. Contour swales capture rain, feeding our existing and planned lakes and keeping the land lush year‑round. Our strictly organic methods rely on compost and natural pest control, turning excess biomass into biochar that locks away carbon while boosting fertility—so every harvest nourishes both the ecovillage and the planet.

Token sale Now OPEN!

Fox was invited to participate in $TDF's private sale. She can get her $TDF at lower prices, as the token price increases for every token sold and she's in first hundred purchasers.  She's not sure of how her life is going to roll in the next few years, but she decides to buy 30 $TDF - she can support the project construction for now, and if later she decides not to spend time there, she can sell her tokens after the go-live event.
