Join us as we celebrate Earth Days 40th Anniversary!

Wayne County has been celebrating Earth Day for 11 years.

The Earth Day Celebration is an opportunity for families to come out have fun and learn about ways to better the environment and protect it for the future. Everyone has a responsibility to keep the world clean and green for the next generation. There are many vendors on hand at the event to answer questions anyone may have and tell you about their earth friendly products. Live animal shows are always a highlight for everyone! This year we have the Organization for Bat Conservation coming with Nocturnal Animals.

Buy garlic, save farmland!

April 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Earlham alumni Dan Hobbs and Allison Kinsey have an opportunity for you to be part of protecting the Earth this Earth Day! Dan has been a top-notch organic farmer and leader of various sustainable agricultural nonprofit organizations for the last 20 years. He’s trying to protect prime farmland from development by buying the family farm adjacent to his farm to keep it in active agricultural use. Dan and Allison are funding the land acquisition by selling shares of their exceptional organic heirloom garlic. The farm grows several stunning varieties–Music Pink (try it for the name alone!) Romanian Red, etc. They’re asking folks to buy a 3-year share or 1/2 share, which means you’ll be shipped a mix of all the varieties they grow each year.
