I have heard from several sources that the Solviva place in Marthas
Vineyard where she built and operated the greenhouse that she wrote
about went bankrupt or flopped serveral years ago.   Part of the reason
I heard was that she left the place and the people caring for it, didn't
care for it properly.

She did implemant a lot of good things, like a home made water wall to
store thermal energy to keep the place warm at night, with a large 300
gallon tub used for the same reason heated with black tubbing through
the roof and if necessary a fire under it.   It was also  used for a hot
bath on occasion, it is reported.

She also implemented composting toilet, but I don't have information
about its performance.
