COB PROJECT CAMPUS
Cob Project Campus is a food and lifestyle education project geared at growing food for and empowering the Central Oregon community by demonstrating and experimenting with alternative technologies.

The objective of COB PROJECT CAMPUS is to help fulfill the need of access to clean and healthy nutrition in Central Oregon by means of volunteer based involvement and philantrhropic efforts that sustain food production via permaculture garden systems.
1. To provide inspiration, guidance, and expertise needed to ensure a bountiful supply of locally and organically grown produce, herbs and fruits to those in need of access to fresh and nutrious food.
2. To empower people of all ages and abilities by customizing hands-on workshops designed to educate on, growing, harvesting, storing and distributing fresh foods.
3. To awaken awareness of the countless ways to re-purpose materials that would otherwise be thrown out by the community and to coordinate donations to be recycled into permaculture systems maximizing local resource efficiency.
4. To nurture a platform where local mentors, gardeners and food-storage experts can collaborate and share valuable information with the community that inspires sustainable practices yeilding harmonious growth of people and the natural environment.
6. To demonstrate proper use of root cellars, that protect surplus food through winter months, by providing hands-on building work-shops.
7. To support existing food banks with year-round-donations.
8. To create a garden community in our local neighborhood and encourage participation in free, sustainable, herloom seed banks that are and gmo and chemical free.
9. To document all stages of this community garden project and create a free on-line manual to be a resource for other groups and communities.
