Straw Bale Association of Texas (SBAT) The mission of the Straw Bale Association of Texas is to provide information and resources that promote the art of straw bale construction as a means toward sustainability for all species. Welcome / Bienvenidos to SBAT-Texoma serving the Dallas-Fort Worth-Northeast Texas area Bob and Andy Skinner of Big Heart Builders have agreed to help spread the SBAT mission. We are glad to have their help. They have been involved with brokering bales for sale and building strawbale homes since the 1995 and have built at least 10 sb buildings to date. Joining them is Deborah Thomas-Vigliano, former Austinite now in north Texas. She has been an organic gardener for 20 years and promotes courses in Permaculture and Consensus Decision Making.
