This will be key to the success.
We will need: space to farm in the ground, raised beds for
people in wheelchairs, space for green houses or sea containers of Aquaponics,
office/classroom space, Farmer’s Market and Juice bar area for the public and parking.
We will need to be somewhere we can connect to other programs we want to
partner with including the school district, community traffic for branding and
awareness and accessibility for the marketplace. A place that has space for opportunity
and growth.
Having started a business, I know first-hand, this vital decision
can make or break it. And based on past mistakes, we want to go into this with the
least amount of fiscal responsibility possible.
Today, DeeDee and I
found a place with all of the above criteria.
Yes, we found a home
for #OneSharedRoot.
It’s perfect but will require some politicking. I’ll share
more details soon. The decision makers will be the governing board of
Scottsdale Unified School District.
Our next step is to start drawing up the plans to present to
the board as to how we will utilize the space we are requesting. We are
reaching out to an engineering program at ASU and a master gardening program at
U of A for help and we will soon reach out to all of you for community support
and recommendation.
Stay Tuned…..it just got real.
