Farm Projects

Seems like we always have a project going on around here!

In Progress   New poultry processing facility... details coming soon.
 
Apr 2009 to Nov 2010   Asparagus SARE grant... details coming soon.
 
May 2008 to Oct 2009   This photo album and accompanying slideshow describe the installation of our new Garn wood gasification boiler. Using firewood from our woodlot, we can now provide heat and hot water for our entire house, including the attached apartment. Someday we hope to also use the boiler to heat the chicken house and a greenhouse.
