Measure Twice's first big task of 2011 is cutting a timber frame for one of Burlington's farm education programs.
We'll be honest, it's proved to be as big a bite as we thought, and at times, our metaphorical jaw has ached. Glad to say we've more or less finished the design, smile intact.
Above is the frame for a Rinse Station to be built on the Ethan Allen Homestead in Burlington, VT.
The Association of Africans Living in Vermont serves as a conduit by which recently arrived refugees can connect with the resources and community they need. One of the ways they do this is by the New Farms for New Americans program.
NFNA has grown steadily since its inception until this summer when the three acres on the Ethan Allen Homestead doubled to six. That spurt reinforced the fact that the programs production had outgrown its facilities.
That's where MTCS came into play. And you can too.
Any time you volunteer with us - digging our foundation pits, installing the roofing, cutting a tenon - can count as Worker Member Hours with City Market. So come feel the noise.
We're on the road to raising day - scheduled for late July/early August.
