Central Oregon Locavore
Project Details
Central Oregon Locavore will expand their liquid bulk section and eliminate single-use plastics, by building a custom shelving system tailored to their needs. Locavore will use repurposed wood wherever possible in the construction. Locavore will also extend the impact of the project by creating specific educational content regarding single use plastics, their impact on the environment (and how that affects the soils for farmers), and showcasing their bulk refill station that uses repurposed bottles and jars as an alternative. Finally, Locavore will promote refill and reuse to visitors, customers, and the community.
