The basic concept is a system of 4’ x 4’ modules that enable easy, efficient, and local production of food, where space is a luxury, and passion for sustainable farming is rampant: namely San Francisco. There are 6 basic elements to play with, including a chicken coop, chicken run, water collection unit, greenhouse, cold frame, and compost bin. Combining these elements together create symbiotic relationships with each other when connected. For example: When the chicken coop is connected to a compost element below, and a greenhouse on one side, the chickens are kept warm by the greenhouse, fertilize the compost with their manure (which also produces heat), can be fed with red worms, weeds and insects that propogate in the compost, which produce a more nutritious egg for you to eat, along with rich and vital compost to grow more veggies with in the greenhouse, which also produces food year-round. The facility of the system and foolproof nature of its elements create an easy “in” for anyone wondering how they could possibly sustain themselves in the big city. SYM can also be scaled for use in schools for education, communities for intensive production, or just the confines of your own urban backyard for gratifying and personally rewarding results. <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_pic4_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_pic4_o.jpg" data-mid="22345016" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_Coops_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_Coops_o.jpg" data-mid="22345346" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/sym_diagram_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/sym_diagram_o.jpg" data-mid="22345076" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_cycles_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_cycles_o.jpg" data-mid="22345294" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_pic2_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_pic2_o.jpg" data-mid="22345110" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_nursery_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_nursery_o.jpg" data-mid="22345122" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_water_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_water_o.jpg" data-mid="22345133" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_overall_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_overall_o.jpg" data-mid="22345137" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_greenhouses_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_greenhouses_o.jpg" data-mid="22345142" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_pic1_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload88.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/4062644/Sym_pic1_o.jpg" data-mid="22345145" border="0" align="left"/> What started as a concept for more efficient urban farming, SYM won 2nd place in San Francisco's Digging Deeper competition, and was recently built as part of a... http://newfactorysf.com/Seed-Packs http://newfactorysf.com/following/newfactorysf.com/Seed-Packs Sat, 09 Jun 2012 23:43:32 +0000 www.newfactorysf.com 3559913 <img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559913/5_seedpacks1web_900.jpg" width="830" height="593" width_o="830" height_o="593" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559913/5_seedpacks1web_o.jpg" data-mid="18411555" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559913/5_tumblrl4ajs8eej61qbpxqoo11280_900.jpg" width="830" height="1280" width_o="830" height_o="1280" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559913/5_tumblrl4ajs8eej61qbpxqoo11280_o.jpg" data-mid="18411561" border="0" align="left"/> http://newfactorysf.com/Headlands-Carrier-Stools http://newfactorysf.com/following/newfactorysf.com/Headlands-Carrier-Stools Sat, 09 Jun 2012 22:11:29 +0000 www.newfactorysf.com 3559774 Commission for Headlands Center for the Arts: A family of stools that can carry supplies and inspiration with you during your time in the Headlands. The stools are made of Alder, a lightweight hardwood native to the Headlands. Each has a bucket handle to aid in carrying, and rubber feet to accept a variety of terrains. Sit: The basic stool is simply a portable seat. Stash: This stool features a small compartment for carrying tools and treasures. Strap: Two straps under the seat can carry small objects or a blanket. We were inspired by the utilitarian aspects of the military history, the landscape that invites hikes down to the shoreline, and the environment’s potential for creative discoveries. By packing the Carrier stool with tools, supplies, snacks or inspiration you leave prepared to explore at ease. <img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Sit1_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Sit1_o.jpg" data-mid="18410581" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Strap3_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Strap3_o.jpg" data-mid="18410566" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Collection1_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Collection1_o.jpg" data-mid="18410567" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Collection3_900.jpg" width="900" height="1350" width_o="1200" height_o="1800" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Collection3_o.jpg" data-mid="18410569" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Collection6_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Collection6_o.jpg" data-mid="18410571" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Collection9_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Collection9_o.jpg" data-mid="18410574" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/combined_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/combined_o.jpg" data-mid="18410577" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Process1_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Process1_o.jpg" data-mid="18410579" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Strap2_900.jpg" width="900" height="600" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" src_o="http://payload62.cargocollective.com/1/1/61624/3559774/Strap2_o.jpg" data-mid="18410592" border="0" align="left"/> Commission for Headlands Center for the Arts: A family of stools that can carry supplies and inspiration with you during your time in the Headlands.

Each are made by hand in our small woodshop in SoMa, San Francisco. The stools are made of Birch, a light colored wood that is dense and strong. The bent wood handle is designed for carrying or hanging storage, taking direct inspiration from the handle of a bucket.
