Green Living Fayre
The Ohio Green Living Fayre was Monday. This was the second year for the fayre, but the first time I went. What a great event! Met so many people, and even learned a little.
Mostly, it was a relief to see so many people interested in and excited about sustainable living. All these people are making an effort to do something positive, to live by example, to change the way we all think about our impact on the earth. It was held at Flying J Farm, the perfect setting for the event. Such a beautiful place, I felt right at home.
Most interesting to me was the workshop on straw bale construction by Jay from Blue Rock Station. www.bluerockstation.com
Jay gives workshops on how to build your own straw bale structure, and I plan on attending one of these workshops next spring.
Other highlights from the fayre included learning about solar power from Matt from Dovetail Solar and Wind, Snowville Creamery icecream and milk tasting, meeting the guys from Rootdown, learning about Simply Living, and Heart of Ohio.
I was there representing Slow Food Columbus with Natalie and we're already looking forward to next year's event.
