Please join us for a conversation about developing a community supported agriculture
(CSA) program at Pilgrim Hot Springs. This project would be developed in parallel to other
potential development at the site, including export of geothermal power to supply Nome’s
electric grid.
Join us to:
• Learn about community supported agriculture, and ideas for taking advantage of local
geothermal energy to supply produce to Nome and other communities in the region.
• Get an update on the geothermal resource evaluation of the site, and the possibility of
supplying geothermal power to the NJUS grid.
• Provide input on future development of the site.
• Let us know if you are interested in getting involved through volunteering or joining a
CSA!
