Celebrating 20 years of our journey, we extend our gratitude to every member of our community! Our founder, Ray, blazed a trail towards a sustainable future two decades ago, igniting a vision that continues to inspire us today. As Ray passed the torch in 2020, Brian emerged as the perfect steward of this vision. With a decade-long commitment to sustainability, Brian's roots run deep, having begun his journey at Solar City in 2009. Upon returning to Grass Valley in 2013, he joined forces with Ray to cultivate and expand our shared dream of fostering sustainable living within our community. Our mission remains steadfast: to share knowledge, actively engage with our community, and champion resilience and sustainability for generations to come. As we once again find ourselves nominated for Best of Nevada County, we are humbled by the opportunity to continue enriching our community through sustainable practices. Rooted in Community, Grown in Sustainability. 🌱
