TestimonialS

Bill and Margaret Moule founded Moule Paint & Glass in 1949. Bill originally came to California in the 30s and worked as a miner. There he met and married Margaret Payne. They moved from Grass Valley to the Baguio area in the Philippines, along with their first two children. When the Philippines fell to Japan in WWII, the Moules hid in the countryside but were eventually captured and lived in a war prison camp until the end of the war. During their time in the Philippines, Bill had been commissioned as an officer in the US Army. In addition, he had contracted polio and was unable to resume mining upon returning to California. Instead, he started a house painting business. A few years later, he received back pay from the army for his WWII service and was able to buy out his supplier, who was retiring. Thus was born Moule Paint & Glass.

BRIAR PATCH CO-OP

BriarPatch’s solar system utilizes SunPower’s E20 solar panel in an array that consists of 680 panels, each delivering 435 Watts.

BriarPatch will now have 55% of their total electrical use provided by their solar energy system. “We are excited to move into our 41st year knowing that we have significantly reduced our energy consumption. We see this as a meaningful way to return something to our co-op members and our greater community in Nevada County and beyond,” states Chris Maher, BriarPatch general manager.
