Berthoud, CO, September 25, 2015.The Center for Ecolonomic Excellence and Development (CEED) and Mountain Sky Ranch held the Fifth Annual Celebrate Sustainability Event to be held again on Saturday, September 24, 2011, at Mountain Sky Ranch, near Carter Lake.  This one day free event featured tours, discussions, displays, activities and entertainment related to sustainable living and agriculture.  Mountain Sky Ranch which is a commercial sustainable agriculture ranch and agritourism, demonstration, education and research campus hosted this exciting event for the fifth time.  Dr. Dorband, President of IOE states, ” our first four Celebrate Sustainability Events  were so much fun that we knew we wanted to do it every year.  We met so many environmentally conscious people who did not know what we did and we want to continue to show the community how to be more earth friendly.”

Celebrate Sustainability was a family oriented event running from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM which was free and open to the public.  Throughout the day there were discussions, demonstrations and activities showcasing small acreage farming for anyone, sustainable livestock, aquaponics for home food production, and tips for sustainable living.  This year we featured an incredible Farm to Table Invitation Only dinner in the evening catered by Heirloom Catering from Denver.

Deb Dorband, Mountain Sky Ranch owner said, “Come for an hour or spend the day.”There are ponds, a stream, timbered mountain trails, and restful meadows to just relax in.  Bring the kids for fishing and other kid friendly activities.  You will learn a lot and have fun also.”
