The B Street Permaculture Project
Future Projects
In the coming years, we'd like to add projects relating to energy production (windmills, solar panels, ethanol, etc.), water harvesting and storage, and food storage. We'd also like to start a breeding flock for one of the endangered chicken breeds, build a wood-fired ceramic kiln, and start workshops and classes for community members and k-12 schools. So we will be busy for years to come!
As the site develops, we expect even more opportunities for interaction with students and community members working together to plan field trips for k-12 classes, permaculture and gardening workshops, food and plant sales, harvest festivals, and other events.
The Red Jungle Fowl, in a color pencil drawing by art Professor Terry O'Day, was domesticated in Thailand about 8,000 years ago. All subsquent domestic chicken breeds come from this ancient bird, now believed to be extinct. Pacific's B Street Farm uses several distant relatives in a permaculture project south of campus.
