Center for Discovery and a Great Therapy Day - Yay!

We are so fortunate and grateful to have a world class health facility for medically challenged adults and children right here in Hurleyville.  It's called the Center for Discovery.

Byron has been receiving excellent Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physiatry and Dentistry at the health center since 2012.





Today he had an excellent session with his therapist Lindsay on bike riding. Notice the two hands!






The center has an amazing campus with biodynamic farming practices to feed the folks who are in residence there. All of their buildings are Leeds certified which is the highest green building certification you can receive. 





They bought our friend Ajit Bond's house and turned it into another great farm




They have a very progressive philosophy about food - They have a Department of Nourishment Arts.  This is one of their trucks:


They are also renovating the hamlet of Hurleyville adding many exciting shops and encouraging others to join.


This is the Makers Lab which they hope one day will be the largest manufacturer of 3D printed prosthetic limbs.  Many of their residents will work here.


The old Sullivan Dairy - they like to use nifty colors.


A great bakery and market




Future sight of a large movie theater and dance studio.





These two buildings will house an art gallery and store


Cool church building


And a nice GastroPub! - The Pickled Owl


Byron insisted on being in ALL the photos!
