Element Eco-Design is facilitating a cob oven workshop to be delivered by Ashley Lubyk of Dirt Craft Natural Building. Come spend the day learning and “playing in the mud” in this hands-on workshop. You will learn how to build your very own wood-fired oven from natural materials, including clay, sand, straw, and bricks.
This type of oven (also called a cob oven) can be built in a day with minimal cost and creates an exceptional environment for baking artisan breads and pizza, as well as stews, roasts and more.
Eat Your Yard!
More and more people are starting to grow their own food as a result of increased concerns over how food is produced. Thanks to documentaries such as Food Inc. and Fresh the general public has become much more aware of the problems associated with our food system. The major issues still remain:
- Environmental Degradation
- GMO Crops
- Chemical Fertilizers, Pesticides, Herbicides and Fungicides
- Highly Processed Food-like Products
- Fossil fuel Intensive Agriculture
- Food Desserts
- Handful of Corporation Controlling Food
