Folded paper, scale lumber, and drawings everywhere! The past week has seen a flurry of activity at BR+A+CE as the design phase of our mobile farm stand project picks up momentum.

We’re also happy to announce the newest addition to TEAM BR+A+CE! Designer, animal-lover, and all-around awesome individual Mykel Terada, comes to us fresh (very fresh) off her second year in RISD’s Master of Architecture program. Welcome aboard, Mykel!

The two of us have spent the past week talking folding frames, mechanical canopies, and all sorts of bells and whistles for the stand. We couldn’t be more excited about where we’re headed – as you can see from the wall in our office, we’re really thinking outside the (CSA) box. BR+A+CE, Mattapan Food & Fitness Coalition, and Brookwood Community Farm aren’t just going to bring delicious fruits and veggies to Mattapan, we’re going to bring the farm stand into the 21st century!
