MOTT Box Rustic Headed To Spero Vineyards

We are so excited to announce that the MOTT Box Rustic is going to be sent to Spero Vineyards in Temecula CA this weekend. It was a pleasure getting to meet Mark and Eva Woodsmall a few weeks ago  while they were in Ventura for the weekend. What great people with a passion for supporting young adults with the development of their disabilities. I look forward to following this amazing cause and exciting project! More photos of the MOTT Box at the vineyard to come!  Here is a little bit about what they are doing-

Hope Grows Here

A New Kind of Training Program

The Spero Vineyards Viticulture Vocational Training program is dedicated to providing opportunities for young adults with developmental disabilities.  Spero is a unique public-private partnership between project organizers Mark & Eva Woodsmall , the City of Temecula and the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association. Currently, the project has 880 vines under cultivation and there are plans to expand the vineyard by an additional 2,000 vines. 

Student participants in the project will receive instruction in the history/culture, science, hospitality, business/marketing, and agricultural aspects of the winemaking business.  Students will be afforded the opportunity to earn a customer service certification and a food handler’s license.  Students will be trained in essential skill areas that will position them to apply for and secure employment in a mainstream work environment.  Each class session will be interactive and hands on to stimulate and engage students.  The first cohort, already underway will serve 10 students.  The project aims to expand the program to serve up to 200 participants annually in the next five years.  

 

 

 

 

MOTT Box RUSTIC Model

The last few months we have been working on a new version of the MOTT Box Rustic Model. We have upgraded a few things to make it have better air flow throughout. This new model will include a 3ft wide by 7ft high clad door and a  8ft wide by 7ft high bi folding door to open it up a lot more. We are adding a larger skylight which to help enhance the overall brightness during the day. Another new feature is that it will be wired for electrical as an option, but we will be doing battery and solar powered lights for the off the grid aspect. Here are a few photos of the progress and we are moving along fast so we will be updating photos in the coming days. Ordering info: mottboxinfo@gmail.com
