    We've made a lot of progress on the bus this past week, including planting the rooftop garden, harvesting our first cucumber, painting the bus, and making headway on the waste veggie oil conversion. Here are some photos from the last workday- check out the website (www.nourishmeant.org) for new blog posts and photo slideshows!

    Thank you! You are amazing!

    Emily and i are blown away by the support we have already gotten. Thank you all so much! We are already half way to our fundraising goal, only a few days into Kickstarter.

    We also wanted to mention that for anyone who is in town or wants to come to Charlottesville, we will have a celebration party to thank all of our supporters and friends. It will take place in early July, at the kickoff for the project. We cant wait to celebrate with you!

    Again, thank you!
