October Progress

We will be submitting plans for our carriage house for permit this week! (delayed) It will sit adjacent to the farm store and serve as parking and guest quarters. If you look closely, you can see that the building pad has been graded. Our goal is to have the carriage house weather tight by the end of the year. (picture below) We will be implementing some new items on this structure including grey water recycling, solar panels, and SIPS walls.

Additionally, the DEQ approved the culvert over our stream. It will be installed the week of 10/12/09 (DONE) and forestry activities will resume so that we can clear up the stands of dead wood to make room for some new hardwood plantings.

The exterior of the farmstore is now complete. The septic has been installed and interior framing complete. We are currently taking bids for the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.

Ecoseeds.org will start the process of constructing a deer fence, and preparing our soil and current orchards for a robust 2010!
