Quench & Nourish, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Marcellus, New York. Our goal is to mitigate hunger and lack of access to clean water through innovative techniques in the production of food, clean water and biofuel.
Quench & Nourish is currently exploring the use of high tunnels and low tunnels for crop production, snow and rain harvesting systems for irrigation and consumption, and the use of compost to generate hot water and energy, which can also be used to supplement heat in greenhouses for crop production in cold climates. We intend to demonstrate that fresh produce can be grown year-round virtually anywhere on the globe, by simply incorporating rain, snow, waste and microbes to generate energy and clean water.

Our high tunnels (passive greenhouses) are adjacent to a trench compost pit with a buried "boiler" system that generates radiant heat from compost-heated water.
Our low tunnels (wire frames covered with spun-woven fabric), located inside the high tunnels, protect a variety of cold-hardy seedlings, despite sub-zero conditions.
