Earthboxes at Crust Organic Restaurant
We are moving forward with The Growing Connection (TGC)program. TGC uses the earthbox to connect students around the world through the growing of food. Currently, we are working with Chef's Michael Altenberg and Greg Kaminski. Michael and Greg are opening an organic based restaurant on the north side of Chicago - Crust.
With the help of students from theChicago High School for Agricultural Sciences we are growing twelve cool season crops using earthboxes in the Ag. School greenhouse.The boxes were planted on January 17 and 18 and already have many sprouts.The earthboxes will be on display at Crust in February. As part of the restaurant, a sunroom was added and the Chefs will continue to grow crops as they harvest them. Thank you Crust for helping us promote TGC. Grow and eat locally!
Please check back for details on TGC/EarthBox training, scheduled for March 24, 2007.
