Guests started trickling in the doors of E.J. Buys on Main St. in Three Rivers at around 6:30 pm on Saturday evening. On most nights, E.J. Buys is a vacant storefront, but on Saturday June 21 it was the site of the latest *cino Underground Supper Club, a dinner put on in an exciting and unusual...
The summer at Huss is off to a great start! The garden is flourishing, the kids are coming, and this past week marked the beginning of Huss' hosting of summer lunches and the start of our Community Fun Nights. Monday June 16 was our first hosting of the "Meet Up and Eat Up" summer free lunch...
"Where does it come from?" is at the heart of all childhood curiosity. This question leads to truths children are both prepared (where does the mail come from?) and perhaps unprepared (where do babies come from?) to know. Similarly, as adults the question "where does it come from?" can yield answers we are both ready...

Last year we won a $1,000 grant from the Three Rivers Area Community Foundation (TRACF) because you voted for us on Facebook. TRACF is running another contest this year and we'd love to win another $1,000 with your help! For this year's contest, we submitted a 1-minute video showing our work at the Huss Project. TRACF has posted...
When we at the Huss Project start to describe our vision, the words, “people” and “food” tend to come up pretty often. We love people. We love their stories, ideas, passions, interdependence, achievements, and potential. We also really like food: as a host to conversation, as a reward of a good harvest, as a common...
Dane from Flowerfield Enterprises was gracious enough to come out last Monday evening to Triple Ripple Community Garden to teach a group of us about making compost tea, which is a natural fertilizer that helps balance the bacteria and fungi in our soil. We were all very impressed by the depth of his knowledge about...
Thanks to a generous grant from the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM), we have the opportunity on June 7 to host a Picnic Table Workshop at the Huss Project.

In The Republic, Plato says, "Come then, and let us pass a leisure hour in storytelling, and our story shall be the education of our heroes.” We at The Huss Project make this same invitation. Come educate our heroes, or yourself be educated. We will begin our summer of storytelling on June 6 at the Huss...
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and we are smiling. We've started to get the Triple Ripple Community Garden up and running at the Huss Project for its fifth season. A few beds have been cleared, fence has been put up, and we've even put some seeds in the ground. In the picture...
We've invested quite a few person-hours over the past few years removing the ubiquitous drop ceilings from the Huss Project, as well as the commercial carpeting that covered the original maple floors. Some of the drop ceiling materials made their way to a local church, and some of the carpeting is keeping the weeds down...
