Thanks so much to Kathryn Hamilton and Dan Griffith for the wonderful tour of their facility. The grounds and the building itself are a wonderful example of sustainable practices. The building was put up by Amish workers using many parts of the existing barn. The stormwater bioretention ponds, also known as rain gardens, and other forms of stormwater management including the incredible demonstration of different types of pavement options is fabulous!
