Step it Up - Lead with your mouth by Eating locally

Williamstown, MA

November 3, 2007 09:30AM to 11:30AM

Hosted by Bridget Spann

Event Description:
Please join the community at Caretaker Farm on Saturday November 3 from 9:30am - 11:30am for a morning of food, educational activities, and work on the farm as we prepare for winter on the farm and step up our commitment to be a leader by eating locally and living sustainably. We will enjoy chai made with milk from our Jersey cow, Chloe, and taste cheese from Cricket Creek Farm together with bread from our bakery and local apples. Come learn about solar hot water for your home from Craig and Barbara Robertson of Heliocentrix, green cleaning options from farm member Joanna Greenfield, vegetarian meals from Matt and Mary Kelly of the Berkshire Vegetarian Network, and get inspired about other choices for sustainable living that you can make to reduce your carbon footprint. Marion Grillon, farm member and children's librarian will also have stories and simple craft activities for children. This event is both for CSA members and for the local community, so please invite your neighbors, family members, and friends to come along with you. PLEASE call a friend and carpool to the farm, and PLEASE bring your own mug for a hot beverage.
