Working in a Forest

Schoolhouse Creek, filled with late winter run off, rushes along next to the Cafeteria building

The Aprovecho lab is in a green forest, eight miles east of Cottage Grove, Oregon, a town of ~10,000 people.

Working in a forest to design, manufacture and sell clean burning biomass cooking and heating stoves makes sense.

Heating and cooking with renewably harvested biomass is easy to imagine when surrounded by a forest.

Eating food from our gardens, grown with fertilizer from animals we enjoy, means that we know a lot about the food we eat.

Learning more about burning biomass cleanly enough to join solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal as sustainable energy resources, is intrinsically optimistic work.

We hope that you can visit our stove lab at Blue Mountain one of these days! Contact dean@aprovecho.org
