Mountain Sky Ranch which is a commercial sustainable agriculture ranch and agritourism, demonstration, education and research campus will host this exciting event for the second time. Dr. Dorband, President of IOE states, ” our first two 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 is a family oriented event running from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM which is free and open to the public. Throughout the day there will be discussions, demonstrations and activities showcasing small acreage farming for anyone, sustainable livestock, aquaponics for home food production, and tips for sustainable living. We will be featuring incredible live music in the afternoon from Davey and the Blu Dog.
Deb Dorband, Mountain Sky Ranch owner says, “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.”
