Food, Earth and Humanity

This celebration of human adaptability features speakers of varied backgrounds, from large-scale corporate composting to a backyard bioreactor builder to an environmentally conscious farmer in the making. Indigenous practitioners of eons-old sustainability will be demonstrating living methods. Food and craft vendors will have their wares on display and for purchase.

See real-life examples of personal sustainability that has been exhibited through the centuries and today. Come see how ancient skills play out in marketable ways for those who keep the practices alive. The lineup of vendors and speakers will include the modern descendants of people who once kept the demonstrated traditions under threat of persecution. Come to be inspired by humanity's resilience and transformation that can prepare us all for the future.

While you're here, tour the delightfully edible permaculture-designed grounds of Casa Somerset, a bed and breakfast and operating homestead winery. This event supports the livelihoods of practitioners who make a living by exercising the traditions taught to them by generations past.
