Celebrate Earth Day at Recipe for Success Foundation's First Wednesday Market

Join Recipe for Success Foundation as they celebrate Earth Day during their First Wednesday market at Hope Farms, complete with children’s activities, marvelous vendors, entertainment, a haiku contest and prizes. And they will salute the Green Mountain Energy Sun Club as they unveil the new rainwater capture system gifted to the farm.

In the true spirit of Earth Day’s inspiration to Recycle, Reduce and Reuse, the new system will redirect over 95,000 gallons of rainwater typically shed from the Gathering Barn’s roof every year and put it to use irrigating our crops, washing our produce and empowering a wildlife habitat. They will even be able to safely drink our repurposed water thanks to the sophisticated filtering system designed and installed by Stirling Electric and Irrigation.

A schedule of cooking and gardening classes will fill the evening along with farm fun and distractions.
