Sustainable Fairfax - Hands-On Earthen Plastering Workshop to Benefit Sustainable Fairfax

Hands-On Earthen Plastering Workshop to Benefit Sustainable Fairfax

On

Friday October 2nd, 2009, Sustainable Fairfax hosted a hands-on Earthen Plastering workshop by Jeffrey Adams at our beautiful Sustainability Center.

Participants joined us for an interactive and inspirational afternoon learning about and playing with earthen plasters while supporting the good work and community leadership of Sustainable Fairfax. Jeff began the day with a short slide presentation and discussion covering a spectrum of earthen building materials and applications. Then we transitioned outside to put the ideas to action applying a Hybrid Adobe plaster to protect the Center’s cob bench. Hybrid Adobe is a low-cost, easy to use, fun to apply technique with a wide range of applications including weatherization, insulation, fire retardant, and artistic sculpting. Participants came away with skills and knowledge to start mixing and applying hybrid adobe to their own projects.

Good Earth Natural Foods

Good Earth Natural Foods in beautiful downtown Fairfax since 1969 has been continually offering our local community the finest organic foods we can procure. You won't find us listed on the New York Stock Exchange, nor are we going to open a store in neighborhoods all over the Planet.

We simply want to sell our customers foods grown and processed using the radical but ancient concept, care. Often care takes a back seat to the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

We feel that this is wrong and shortsighted. We offer foods grown and prepared using a minimum of processing and no chemical pesticides or food additives. If we cannot meet this ideal with a certain food item, we get as close as we can and make as much noise as we can to change it for the better. We always endeavor to remember that food contains spirit.
