Recycle and reuse

In an effort to reduce the amount of materials going into the landfill, we are removing as much recyclable material as possible. Metal takes up a lot of this effort, and we are glad to have Brian Dickenson volunteer to take our metal to be recycled. We used the the opportunity to also do some much needed clearing of our barn spaces as well.

notes on kitchen equipment to be re-used

The farm’s kitchen has a lot of sinks, counters, and cupboards that can be reused in the new kitchen and pantry space. Our commercial stove and vent is also an expensive piece of equpment that we want to save and re-use. Moving these takes time, careful disconnection, and a lot of heavy lifting to shift them into the storage containers. Rollers and plywood are handy tools, and luckily the farm tractor is on hand to help as well!
