Come play in the mud and learn how to build with the oldest, simplest, and (I think) most beautiful technology in the world – cob! We’ll be firing up our
recently finished cob pizza oven for the Sustainable Crown Hill Meeting in the evening, while we continue work on the adjacent cob bench. Cob is just sand, clay and straw and it is mixed with your feet and built with your hands so anyone can join in the fun – kids are welcome and you don’t need to have any building skill or cobbing experience. Part of the fun is getting messy so wear you grubby clothes.

Below is a pic of a simple bench I built with some students at school. Hey, if
thirteen year old girls are convinced it’s fun, what are you waiting for! : >)
Come join us!!

1. If you have fruit you won’t be using, let me know and when it will be ripe.
2. If you know a neighbor who has a tree that they might be willing to donate from, go ask them and then let me know.
3. If you’d like to join in on a picking session one weekday evening or weekend day in the next few months – you guessed it – let me know!

1. Put together a list of trees that need to be picked.
2. When one or more trees is ready to be picked I’ll send out a call to everyone that has said they’d be willing to pick to show up at a certain time and place if they’re able.
3. Make sure we’ve got the tools and supplies we need to pick, package, and deliver everything to the food bank.
