Some Projects on the Docket:

There's a lot of really exciting projects that could happen this season, with the right crew. Here's a few things on our list:
  • A Cool-bot Walk-in Cooler
  • Refurbishing our old silo into a 3-story guest house and cheese cave
  • Movable layer-hen coops
  • Tidying up a few details on our 1970's bus/RV
  • A new dairy barn for our goats
  • And a smattering of repairs and details--things always come up!
  • We're also thinking, if someone would be excited by the idea, you could build your own cabin for the season!
FINE PRINT We would supply all the materials and give the final go-ahead on designs, however we're really excited to work with someone who has fresh ideas! We have plenty of tools, though, it would be great if folks had their own tool-belt, and if you wanted to bring some of your own tools, you're more than welcome. We have also been collecting salvaged building materials for years, and have quite a selection of windows, doors, lumber, etc. to be inspired by.
