About Us

Mule Creek FieldsWe began our business in 2000 when we sold all the adobes we had made for our own projects. It seemed a good employment opportunity for our teens and their friends, and so we incorporated in 2001.

Our earthen ingredients come from our own ranch property, in a beautiful valley we have called home for almost 30 years. Because this area was once a volcanic caldera, the sharp sand from volcanic glass combines with a ceramic quality clay to produce an exceptionally strong adobe. Add to that a month of baking in the New Mexican sunshine and our adobes will be ready for your next project!

OUR COMMITMENT TO NATURE

Mule Creek FieldsAt Mule Creek Adobe, we treasure the interface we have with nature. We personally wouldn't support a process that stressed habitat or caused any environmental damage. The stabilizers we use have been proven safe over 60 years. In fact, we have a hard time keeping grass and weeds from sprouting between our adobes while they're curing, and our field is full of reptiles, birds and mammals, usually smaller than these elk.

Mule Creek Adobe, Inc. is a charter member of TEG

The Earth Builders Group LogoThe Earth Builders Guild is a group dedicated to furthering earthen technologies and preservation. Adobe is the universal building block, in all its various formats and traditions. We have provided adobe to builders from California to Kentucky, for projects as diverse as softball bases, cattle chutes and even a mausoleum. Over the years, we have hosted earth building investigators and academics from such diverse places as Turkey, Ecuador, the UK and Kenya.

We are also members of the Southwest New Mexico Home Builders Association and the Southern New Mexico Green Chamber of Commerce.

About Adobe

Swallows Nest
Adobe is a natural building system. People have been building with adobe for at least 10,000 years. Examples in nature include: swallows and wasps and other bird nests. There are many earth-building techniques; adobe is just one.
Adobe can naturally help modify indoor temperatures and decrease heating and cooling costs. Combined with passive solar design, it can eliminate heating bills in some climate zones and definitely reduce cooling costs. Thicker is better.
Adobe is naturally resistant to fire.
It is termite-proof.
It is strong enough and stabilized sufficiently to resist floods; as long as it does not stand in water for more than a week or two. It's also mold resistant.
It can be used in a variety of home building, gardening and ranching applications.
Adobe is a self-supporting wall system. It needs no framing or double structuring.
Each of our adobes will withstand 800 lbs. of pressure per square inch. It requires very little maintenance.
Adobe acts as a good noise barrier and provides excellent ballistic protection.

STABILIZATION

Exterior Stabilization Blocks

For thousands of years all over the world, families and communities had to reapply plaster or stucco over the walls of their adobe homes regularly to keep the adobe from absorbing water and humidity and then falling apart. There are many historic adobe buildings with a "slumped" look which is due to the build up of protective plaster layers. Earth and lime plasters were the classic methods for maintaining adobe for centuries. But this process also required a great deal of human labor and time, which our modern world has in short supply.

WE ALSO PRODUCE NATURAL, UNSTABILIZED ADOBE BLOCKS AS A CUSTOM PRODUCT. PLEASE REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
