Retreat Farm & HatchSpace Community Build

Retreat Farm and HatchSpace are bringing everyone to the table to participate in an exciting community build project that supports the area ’ s newest community space . If you have driven along Route 30 lately , it ’ s hard to miss the big changes happening at Retreat Farm . The renovation effort to transform the historic North Barn into a community gathering space is underway . With historic preservation easements , Retreat Farm is working with the State Historic Preservation Office and Preservation Trust of Vermont to lovingly restore the North Barn — preserving its hand-hewn beams and distinct architectural features . Over the past few months , Tom Bodett from HatchSpace embarked on designing a unique farm table for the North Barn . The long farm tables will feature locally sourced and milled pine , and an innovative sawhorse design that makes the tables beautiful , functional , and easy to store .

Groups , whether companies or community-based organizations , are invited to sign up to adopt a build of five tables . Each group will learn how to make the farm tables from start to finish . The Forest to Farm Table community build project will take place over the next eight months between HatchSpace ’ s downtown studio and the Retreat Farm , with each group making a set of tables over the course of a month . Anyone 16 and older is welcome to participate , and no prior experience is necessary . Those interested can reach out to Kristin Sullivan at ksullivan @ retreatfarm . org or visit retreatfarm . org / hatchspace for more information . There is no cost to participate , but those interested in making a financial contribution can sponsor a table to cover the cost of materials and support HatchSpace educators leading the project .

ALWAYS COMMITTED TO A JOB WELL DONE !
