Learn about sustainability initiatives and innovations being cultivated, discovered and used in the Valley with over ten different organizations. This year we have a Repair Cafe where local businesses and organizations will share skills on how to build, repair, and maintain everyday items or even your garden. You can learn some preserving skills from the Acadia Community Farm at our Good Food Hub and there will be a kid’s corner all about making crafts using recycled materials! Come for our Wednesday Community Market and Market Supper with over 25 vendors, live music with Leah Morise, and learn what practices and tools you can use to make sustainable lifestyle choices on your land, in your life and in your home.
