Proposal summary:
The project will fund the design and installation of a wash station that sends produce wash-water to a custom built grey water recycling system. The recycled water will be used to water the farm's animals, irrigate pick-your-own crops near the distribution barn, and long-term, will be used to water mid-to-late season greenhouse production.
