Nourish(Meant)

Posted by Paige Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:09:00 GMT

Two University of Virginia students, one student and one recent graduate to be precise, stopped into the shop the other week to share about their summer plans.  Graham and Emily received a grant to make their summer dream come to life.  They will be driving cross country in a bio fuel-fed old bus with a handmade garden on top.  In their words "Nourish(meant) is both a collection of projects and a belief.  At its most basic, the idea is this: to run a garden and kitchen out of a biofuels vehicle and travel around America, feeding folks."
 
The Blue Ridge Eco Shop got involved by donating our Velvet Oil Cabin and Deck Finish, a low-VOC exterior wood stain made of soy oil, to protect the wood in their roof garden.   Our awesome employee, Jessalyn, also got involved with the project this week by donating her Worm Castings and Red Worms from her Vermicuture Compost.  Read their latest Blog about the experience of harvesting the castings and saving the worm eggs.
