FALL ECO-FEST

On the Monday of Columbus Day weekend, Clay Hill Farm hosts its annual Fall Eco-Fest, celebrating the season and green family fun. Local food, live music, crafters, farmers, artists, children’s organizations, alternative energy companies and eco-conscious businesses, unite on Clay Hill’s front lawn and under the generous tent, to weave a green ribbon through a day of family fun. Last year, at Clay Hill’s inaugural Fall Eco-Fest, over 500 friends and families enjoyed the festivities.

 

CLAY HILL UNPLUGGED - Earth Day

Clay Hill Farm’s follow-up event to the Green Wedding Giveaway® is an Earth Day celebration entitled; Clay Hill Unplugged. This candle-lit evening celebrates the green shades of food, music and community with a fresh relevance each year. The winners of the Green Wedding Giveaway help personalize and promote the event with their unique shade of green, keeping the event fresh from year to year.

This past April, Clay Hill Farm sponsored 23 students from NYC (the GWGC winning groom was a math teacher in Manhattan) to come to Maine and experience green initiatives first-hand. (Please see the NECN news story on Clay Hill Farm’s website: www.clayhillfarm.com). Local and National media followed the story of NYC ninth graders, who had never left the city, celebrating Earth Day for the first time, in Maine. The students brought seedlings to plant in the new sustainable gardens at Clay Hill Farm, they explored the area by trolley, enjoyed all-natural food, learned about green practices from the 20+ professionals at Clay Hill Unplugged, shared their stories with the public at the event, and camped out under the stars at the Hilton-Winn Youth Enrichment Center in Cape Neddick. The Manhattan school has asked that Clay Hill Farm make this an annual Earth Day event for their students.
