Dear All, The founders of Sweet Water Organics are hoping to recruit experienced, hands-on, historic roof system artisan/contractors interested in urban agriculture/aquaponics training and/or development opportunities.
The Sweet Water Organics experiment in commercial scale aquaponics in a re-purposed factory building * http://sweetwater-organic.com/blog/news/* was made possible by *a first-ever profit of $30,000 at the end of 2008, when not many companies were showing a profit *a network of artists and artisans who offered up thousands of dollars worth of labor gratis or at below market rates *the inspiration of Will Allen and his Growing Power team The enterprise whose year end surplus sparked this adventure was Community Roofing and Restoration, Inc., founded back in 1974 in hopes of stimulating Mondragon like, worker owned artisinal shops, with Community serving as a "support corporation," following Jaraslov Vanek's "Toward a Self-Managed Industrial Sector in the USA." Here is an old essay that captures these concepts: * http://milwaukeerenaissance.com/communityroofinginc/crus.htm* Here is the most recent web platform for Community: *http://www.milwaukeerenaissance.com/Main/CommunityRoofingAndRestorationInc* Please let your friends with such resources know of our interest.
