Tumbleweed Tiny House Company is a company in Sebastopol, California that designs and builds small houses between 50 and 750 square feet (5 and 70 m2), many of which are mobile homes with built-in wheels — shipped via truck to consumers. The company also offers larger designs as floor plans.
In 2002, Tumbleweed's owner, Jay Shafer, co-founded the Small House Society[1] in Iowa City, Iowa. In 2003, he was commissioned by Gregory Paul Johnson,[2] Small House Society co-founder,[3] to build The Mobile Hermitage[4], which became one of Tumbleweed's first commercially sold homes. In 2009, Shafer published The Small House Book.
