The Oven

Wood-fired and open to all

Every week, our volunteers fire up the oven and welcome anyone who shows up. Bring what you want to cook and we'll take care of the rest.

The Garden

A shared growing space tended by local residents. Member plots, public pick areas, and fresh basil for your pizza.
