ECHO

This beginning of August I rode my motorcycle down to south Florida for a Tropical Agriculture and Development class at ECHO (Environmental Concerns and Hunger Organization).

One of the days we had to pick all of our food from the farm and prepare it for lunch.  My group picked some greens and we cooked them using bio gas.  Basically it is a mixture of manure and water which creates methane which is captured and used in a slightly modified gas burner.

The manure mixture is in the blue barrels and then the gas is collected under the white barrel and piped to the burner.

The group that was assigned to make the salad took on the challenge and made it with 34 ingredients from the garden.
