and your own utensils, cups etc ( zero waste if possible is our goal ! ) Bring information on an index card
about where your food was grown or produced (and the recipe on back would be great, too )For the Fest: Bring a chair or blanket and your instruments, voices, and other talents
such as poetry, storytelling or dance to share. (No plug-ins, please - only "human power" )For Our Future: Meet folks from local farms, food cooperatives, farmers markets and purveyors
of locally grown food. Learn about food security and the importance of sustainable practices.
Local food production and availability are central to our families' well being and to the resilience
of our township and central to a decrease in reliance on fossil fuels. It also is kinder to our environment,
healthier, and helps us stay in touch with the people and the methods that are producing it.
It strengthens our community bonds.
Local producers and purveyors can be found on our website:
