Many workshops will offer a hands-on component. For an additional fee, participants can register to take part in these engagements aimed at fostering practical, money-saving skillsets. Activities include creating your own sourdough starter, learning expert hand-spinning techniques, exploring do-it-yourself fermentation with miso and more.

The fair will include a marketplace featuring dozens of regional and national vendors offering sustainable lifestyle products and services including books, tools, seeds, tractors, organic foods, clothes, solar gadgets and more.
