Planning for our Cob or Earth Oven

Mary Alice

Holger was out today  planning two workshops to build an earth oven at the farm. We chose a site and drew up plans.  We need to get a small excavator in to prep the site and move some rocks.  I'll try to update this blog as the work progresses. Here are descriptions of the workshops: Earth Oven Building Workshop We are building a wood fired oven using local building materials including cob. Join us in community, learn by doing, and help build an oven. Holger will share various oven designs, materials, and techniques to inspire you to build your own. Bring your own lunch or enjoy an organic farm lunch for $14. Taught by Holger Laerad at ALM farm Saturday July 31. 10am-5pm Fee: $55
