Some good news!

We are honored to have been awarded a resilience grant from the Northeast Organic Farming Association! This Grant will be in support of our forest to workbench material culture program and will help us build a drying and storage shed for the wood products we produce, it will house our pit sawing equipment, our riving and splitting station, and will be where we can dry materials we process: basket splints, barrel hoops, timber frame pegs, ladder components, staves for buckets and containers, split shingles, wagon wheel components, clog and last blanks, plane blanks, etc. It will be an essential important part of our operation as we seek to reproduce all these aspects of a living and working material culture from the forests of the farm. You can see some of these kinds of products we produce here. We will also have fun building it! Sign up on our mailing list for information on workshop for its construction using traditional methods later this summer!
