Foundation Stewardship: Location Siding
The mission is expanding. We are transitioning our home-based pilot into a professional Distributed Campus—a network of scientific “Nodes” working together to turn organic resources into life. To fuel this engine, we are calling for Stewardship Siding across our community.
The Goal: We are starting with this decentralized model to involve our community and grow our roots from the ground up. Our ultimate objective is to unite these operations into one flagship location once the right property is secured. By hosting a “Node” now, you are helping us build the data and resources needed to launch that permanent, institutional home.
The Greenhouse Node (The Growing Engine)
We aren’t looking to till your soil; we bring the environment with us.
- The Ground Footprint: We need a level, 10×12 or 12×20 area of grass, gravel, or dirt with clear southern exposure for sunlight.
- The Hard-Siding Node: An old concrete pad, a gravel pull-off, or a sturdy wooden deck in a remote corner. These are perfect foundations for our modular greenhouse structures.
The Bug Bar Node (The Soil Lab)
Our insects are housed in sealed, scientific bioreactors. They need protection from the rain, but they do not need a finished room.
- The Outbuilding Corner: An unused corner of a barn, a machine shed, or a detached garage.
- The Weather-Shield Node: A simple three-sided lean-to or a covered “overhang” area that stays dry. It must be isolated from your social zones and patios.
The Logistics & Distribution Nodes
Every engine needs a place for its parts and its circulatory system.
- The Secure Shed Node: An existing garden shed or dry storage locker for our Mechanical Array.
- The High-Dry Node: A loft area or elevated platform in a barn for carbon storage (paper/cardboard).
- The Distribution Siding: A dedicated parking spot (gravel pull-off or carport) to serve as the “Home Base” for our delivery van.
The Alchemist’s Siding (The Processing Lab)
A clean, quiet area for the final refinement of our botanical powders and “Impact” nutrients.
- The Utility Workshop: A small, powered space with a workbench—perfect for our stabilization equipment.
- The Remote “Pod”: A finished corner in an outbuilding or a spare room in a detached structure that stays at a consistent temperature.
How Siding Becomes Impact
When you provide “Siding” for a Node, you are a Steward of the Engine. We document the work done at every location in our Impact Registry, showing the community exactly how much waste was diverted on your specific property. Your stewardship today is the foundation of the permanent Bio Husbandry home of tomorrow.
How to Host a Node: If you have a lead on an isolated space that fits any of these descriptions, we’d love to talk. We can coordinate a site visit to see if the footprint matches our Greenhouse or Bug Bar protocols.
