The Earth Oven at Talmage State Preschool is getting a roof! One year ago in October, the Solar Living Institute partnered with The Gardens Project and MCOE to hold their Earth Oven building class at the Talmage State Preschool. John Richards Construction came and worked with River School students to build a rammed earth base for the oven. Then for the class, community members, staff and students participated in its construction and have since enjoyed tasty garden pizzas.
However, cob and rain slowly make mud over time. So now with the leadership of local builder Michael Riddel, and beautiful sustainably harvested redwood from North Cal Wood Products, the students are building a roof. The structure will incorporate cob counters for food preparation, ensure the longevity of the oven for preschoolers, River Students and MCOE staff for the long haul.
