Honoring the Whole Animal

October 13, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Honoring the Whole Animal,

There is NO ENTRY FEE.  Often special events have entry fees and parking fees.  We don’t.  The 4-H animals are free to enjoy.  All the vendors will be selling their stuff.   It would be a perfect place to purchase Christmas gifts – handmade by local artists.

Kids of all ages.  “Whenever I had animals at the farmers market kids of all ages loved it” says Paula Downing, organizer of the event and former manager of the Sebastopol Farmers’ Market.  “So few kids have any relationship with farm animals.   My strongest memory is of a teenage girl petting an Angora bunny and being astounded that her sweater was made from bunny hair.”
