For over a decade, Renewing the Countryside and partners have curated a food-related, interactive educational exhibit at the Eco Experience - the award-winning sustainability expo which draws over 250,000 over the twelve days of the fair. Components of the exhibit include our kids activity area, three daily cooking demonstrations, and our local food sampling station.

Each year we rely on our wonderful volunteers. Thanks, volunteers! 

2021 Theme: Climate Change and Agriculture.

The consequences of rising global temperatures are showing all around us, with ever-increasing effects on farmers, agriculture and the future of our food supply. Come learn about creative ways farmers and others in the food sector are adapting and fighting back, as well as things YOU can do to help in the struggle against climate change. In our exhibit, we’ll explore the relationship between climate change and agriculture, and share how responsible soil and water management, grazing, continuous cover, and the prevention of food waste can play a role in helping mitigate the climate crisis. We’ll share stories of innovative farmers, foodmakers, and organizations who are building successful businesses and tackling the climate problem head-on.
