What's Happening at SustainFloyd?
As we all struggle under the weight of current events: Covid-19, an unsteady economy and the reignited fight for racial equality, we think it vitally important to continue to draw attention to the overarching threats of climate change and environmental degradation which are clearly woven through all these issues.
We continue our important work in the local community, particularly supporting the local food system through our Farmers Market and Guide to Floyd Food, and now we are excited to be developing an event to focus on issues of the wider environment. Your donation can help with all of this work.
About the Blue Ridge Eco Fair
SustainFloyd is broadening the scope of our successful Floyd Energy Fest to include a wider range of issues that impact our environment: energy conservation, sustainable agriculture, environmental protection and simple living. There will be practical information for householders as well as some ‘big picture’ presentations.
Our plan was a hold the Blue Ridge Eco Fair as a live event in October, and it is still a possibility. Now we are working to develop an online event that will serve both as a place holder for future EcoFairs, and as an online resource that can remain available to this community and beyond.
The Blue Ridge EcoFair online will include live-streamed stories and discussions, pre-recorded talks, tours and demonstrations, films, small break out groups and private conversations with professional exhibitors. We also plan to coordinate some fun activities that will engage youth in our communities.
Your donation will help us to create and share these resources with the community and to bring together many local organizations working for a sustainable future.
The Floyd Farmers Market
We have been working hard to adapting to the ever-changing situation, and continue to provide healthy, local, nourishing food to our community from our vital network of local farmers. We’re doing everything we can to build a strong local food system that empowers farmers, protects the environment, and improves your family’s access to good food.
