We are very fortunate to have been able to work with Curt Coucill. Curt is a master craftsman by trade, concentrating mostly on wood working for most of his career. We met Curt many years ago, and over the years he has worked on the farm for various projects. In the beginning, his projects mostly included construction. If you have ever been on the farm, then you have most likely walked up stairs he built, viewed koi from decks he built, or opened greenhouses with doors he built. Over the years we have brought him back to work on projects far beyond the scope of construction, as he is always ready and willing to take on new challenges. The most recent project he worked on was the new Grow-out Greenhouse. We were fortunate to have him here with us on the farm for the past nine months, working on every single detail of the new greenhouse. From pouring concrete pads, to constructing new types of filtration, to building the shed for the boilers, to sweating the copper, to installing the entire indirect heating system, Curt has been there to execute every last detail. Since the greenhouse project is now complete and running beautifully, we had to say good-bye to Curt. He will be greatly missed by all of us (especially Kiko), not only for the incredible skills he has brought to our farm, but also for his witty sense of humor and his admirable sense of character. Although we officially refer to the new greenhouse as the Grow-out Greenhouse, we will always fondly refer to it as “The House that Curt Built.”
