Project Overview

After years of pulling rocks from our soil while planting and tending the garden, we want put them to good use—forming the foundation of a handmade wood-fired pizza oven. Topped with a cob dome made from earth, straw, and plaster, this oven will become the heart of our harvest celebrations: a place to gather, cook, and share meals grown from the same soil beneath our feet. It’s more than a project—it’s an invitation to community.

What We Hope

We hope these resources will be helpful to you and spark your imagination as we all try to steward creation well and care for people at the same time. We want to be a demonstration ground for what you can do with something small and see the potential of every person, place, and thing. As Wendell Berry said, "There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places" and it's our calling as the image of God to be about that sacred work of putting th world back together again.

Our project in pictures
