Real Goods has entered its 30th anniversary year! In June 1978 in sleepy Willits, California, Real Goods opened its doors at the former "Far-Far West Museum." In the 30 years since, the business has evolved from selling solar panels to a few off-gridders in the hills to being the foremost source of information and products in renewable energy, sustainable living, alterative transportation, and relocalization (the ultimate anecdote for global warming and peak oil).
