Cosmic Employee Directory

Cosmic is an Austin-based company founded by local entrepreneurs committed to creating a sustainable, regenerative environment that serves as both a functional business space and a nationally recognized wildlife habitat. The company's operations are built on permaculture and regenerative systems principles, incorporating rainwater harvesting, on-si... te composting, biological ponds, raised-bed gardens, and waterfall features that support diverse ecosystems while producing fresh herbs, vegetables, nuts, fruits, and eggs for operational use. The centerpiece of Cosmic's sustainability efforts is its rainwater-fed pond, a naturally filtered, self-sustaining ecosystem that hosts a wide variety of flora and fauna including edible plants, frogs, toads, dragonflies, fish, lizards, and turtles, while attracting honeybee colonies and numerous bird species such as Great Blue Herons, songbirds, owls, woodpeckers, and bats. The pond's spring and fall lily and lotus blooms form the core of the company's National Wildlife Habitat Certification, demonstrating its commitment to environmental stewardship and ecological balance. Complementing the pond system, Cosmic maintains 120 square feet of raised garden beds flanking its entrance where the company cultivates rotating selections of herbs, vegetables, and native and adaptive wildflower species to support pollinators and provide fresh ingredients. The waterfall gardens serve as a growing habitat for songbirds, owls, woodpeckers, and bats, while edible plants and aromatic species harvested from the pond and waterfall areas are dried and used for culinary, aromatherapy, and natural insect control purposes. Deeply rooted in Austin's local culture and heritage, Cosmic showcases local art, music, purveyors, and the craft community, creating a distinctive space that integrates sustainability, community engagement, and ecological restoration into its operational model while inviting visitors to explore the grounds and learn about regenerative practices.Read More
