Tasting supplies, condiments, and drinks are provided.

Don’t miss the tastiest night of the year!

Fall Clean Up will be a day when we kind of put things to bed. We leave a lot of dead material, including seed pods, in place during the winter, but there will be some dead stuff, along with acorns, to remove. And there will be soil conditioner to put down. (We’ll get a big load of compost in the spring.)

Trade Fair Marketplace is part of a global movement that ensures farmers and craftspeople in developing countries are paid promptly and fairly so they earn a decent wage. Fair trade principles support safe and empowering working conditions that are free of discrimination and forced labor, and ensure the protection of children’s rights. Fair trade supports the poorest of the poor in these communities who often face steep hurdles in finding markets and customers for their goods.
