Summer at Oran Mór Community

by Desiree

Our new cob oven in the Outdoor kitchen. Several East Winders and some locals came by to help stomp cob and put it together.

One of our rocket stoves in action.

Kalani likes to help, here he’s watching the fire for us.

Our neighbor George came by with his tractor and some friends from the ONE group to pick up these grain bins. We donated them to ONE to store local grains.

Well pumping party! Our well operates with a windmill and when the wind isn’t blowing, we use our backup hand pump.

Just the beginning of out annual elderberry harvest!

Here is one of our veggie gardens growing tomatoes, peppers, zinnia, amaranth, cucumbers, squash, lambs quarter, basil, sweet potatoes, melons, and a peach tree! We always practice companion planting and permaculture methods in our gardens.
