Cob Connection changed the way I think and work. Before working for Cob Connection, I had no knowledge of organic production or farming. Building with one of the smartest way to live because cob does not break down, rust or gets contaminated with metal poisoning polluted to the air by industries. Digesting organic food into your system decreases the chances of heart decease or stroke. Since working for Cob Connection I learned ways of how to live my life wise but not in fear, how to do many things myself and better in knowing what I'm doing.
The Cob Connection builds community by building cob. Using the adobe-like mixture of clay, sand and straw, just about any type of structure is possible. When people build together they develop skills and discover resources that enhance communities. For more information about cob or the Cob Connection contact Chad Bliss at cobconnection.chad@gmail.com .
