Phase Two Building Plan (June 2012 to December 2014)

Phase two is the build-out phase where we will prove our food growing capacity, develop facilities for summer programs and large group events and prepare for our first cohort of on campus students.

To kick off this phase, we will need to commence a small-scale funding program of approximately $800,000. The following outlines the different areas of development and the mini-projects that have been identified that individuals, families, and groups of families can fund. The projects are listed in the order in which they need to be funded.
