Fall Festival rebranded as Discovery Days

The Eco-Justice Center announces the first annual Discovery Days fundraising event to be held Sept. 17-19, 2021. Discovery Days is a rebranding of the center’s popular Fall Festival fundraiser that ran for 14 years. The new event will take place over an entire weekend and will showcase the many unique offerings the Eco-Justice Center has to offer. 

As in the past, this family-friendly event will feature fun educational demonstrations on beekeeping, edible plants, food preservation, alpacas, renewable energy, wool spinning, wood-turning, goats, backyard chickens, and composting. Kids can climb up in the treehouse to play Eye Spy, get their face painted, create fun crafts, and learn about animals.
 

Special side events include Yoga with Alpacas and a Guided Walking Meditation. 

Several food items are available for purchase including tastings of our organically grown tomatoes, honey made from bees living at the Center, locally grown corn-on-the-cob, brats, popcorn and more. An expanded gift shop will offer alpaca wool felted creations, homemade jams, jellies, frozen chili, frozen fruit pies, honey and more. The center’s organically grown produce will also be for sale.

Proceeds from the event will help ensure the proper care of nearly 30 animals who live on the farm while also supporting the Eco-Justice Center’s educational programs.
