Haybox-making playshop
On October 6, 2007, we launched a series of quarterly hands-on playshops related to permaculture and sustainability with a session on making hayboxes. A haybox is an insulated box used to hold a pot of food that has been cooked minimally on a stove, letting the ingredients cook slowly until done with no additional energy required. It’s both a great way to save fuel (and lower your carbon footprint), and a convenient way to prepare food in advance and have it cooked, warm and waiting for you at a later time.
