Winter tends to be a quiet time at the Huss Project, but there's always plenty going on behind the scenes. This year, we are honored to be participating in a visioning process for the City of Three Rivers. The first session on January 21 was a wonderful opportunity to hear about the city staff and...
People keep telling us that we should start a restaurant. To quote one satisfied Supper Club attendee, "You guys are the best restaurant in Three Rivers!" Even said glibly, this is a comment that has stuck with us. We would never sell short the efforts of those restauranteurs already established in our fine city, but...
The garden at the Huss Project has become something special for the folks involved in and around the school.

If you weren't sure already, *culture is not optional and company love good food.

Now we invite you all to come share in this...
Though it was a bit obscured by the lead up to and execution of Future Festival 2014, we did gather on July 11 for another evening in our Summer Storytelling Series. As we at the Huss Project continue to seek new media and methods by which to share and listen to each other’s stories, we recognize there are...
So it happened again. On July 19th, a myriad of people from Three Rivers and beyond hiked to the Huss Project for a celebration of food, art, and play. The day went wonderfully. The weather was bright, the air was filled with the beat of "Everything is Awesome," and the people came in droves. Droves...
