Mother Earth Harvest Fair: A Celebration of Sustainable Living September 29 & 30

The Mother Earth Harvest Fair: A Celebration of Sustainable Living will be presented by Spoutwood Farm of Glen Rock, Pa on September 29 & 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Inspiration for the fun-filled event came from the highly acclaimed Common Ground Country Fair produced for 30 years by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.

In 2005, over 2000 people attended the first Mother Earth Harvest Fair in Glen Rock.

The Fair celebrates healthy people working for and enjoying a healthy planet. Partly we pay tribute to the simple traditions, the fun and values of harvest festivals of the past where apples are pressed into cider, garden and farm bounty is proudly displayed, and the animals used to plow our fields or to clothe and nourish us are lavishly appreciated.

In the spirit of good old-fashioned fun the Fair will feature country dancing, lots of music, harvest craft activities for kids, good food for all tastes and natural and folk crafts to marvel and delight.

More than a nostalgic glance backwards, however, MEHF is a vision-in-progress of sustainable living for a sustainable future for Earth and her inhabitants:

· Farming which cares for people's health and vitality as well as that of the Earth;

· New low impact building technologies;

· Renewable and Natural energy forms such as solar, wind and biodiesel;

· Native wisdoms for living in harmony with Nature;

· Strategies to protect and restore native plants and watersheds; and

· New techniques and products to keep ourselves, our homes and our animals healthy in mind, body, and spirit.

Speakers and more than 75 informative exhibits from organizations and vendors will be featured in the festival areas.
