Discover the power of sustainable agriculture in a free event packed with discussions, music, food, and fun activities for the family run by the Institute of Ecolonomics in partnership with Mountain Sky Ranch.
The Institute of Ecolonomics (IOE) has announced its 6th annual Celebrate Sustainability event to be held at Mountain Sky Ranch in Northern Colorado. IOE is a non-profit organization whose mission is to demonstrate the power of a symbiotic relationship between a strong economy and a healthy ecology. The group's event will be a two day free event featuring food, music, tours, fishing, alpacas, sustainable agriculture, hay rides and more.
More information can be found on the IOE website at: http://ecolonomics.org.
The event is in partnership with Dorband & Associates (D&A), which is a group of environmentally conscious companies working in a range of different sustainable business areas, including sustainable agriculture. The location at Mountain Sky Ranch is a subsidiary of D&A that commercially practices sustainable agriculture. It raises alpacas, goats, chickens, and fish, and has a number of practices that are earth friendly.
On the Institute of Ecolonomics website, visitors can discover how IOE provides business development services to entrepreneurs through innovative ideas, new technology, inventions and concepts that can help to improve the planet while generating a sustainable profit.
The organization prides itself on conducting world class research, education and demonstration at its Northern Colorado Center for Ecolonomic Excellence and Development. It also strives to empower the hungry and the thirsty through a Nourish the Planet Program.
The Celebrate Sustainability event is a family oriented event that is free and open to the public with discussions and hay-ride tours occurring throughout the day, and demonstrations for attendees to enjoy. These include information on small acreage farming, sustainable livestock, aquaponics for home food production, and tips for sustainable living.
Throughout the weekend at the Celebrate Sustainability event, free raffles and prizes will be held, along with guided tours and hikes for people to take part in. The weekend will end with a special Ecological Aquaculture Workshop with proceeds going to supporting young entrepreneurs and sustainable agriculturalists.
In addition to this, the event is being held in conjunction with National Alpaca Farm Days, and the elite herd of alpacas will be on show, where it's possible a new baby will be born. The Mountain Sky Ranch alpaca herd is among one of the best in the region and is home to the world-famous Snowmass Matrix, and a number of his sons, daughters and other relatives.
Dr. Dorband, President of the Institute of Ecolonomics and Dorband & Associates, states: "This event will be fun for all the family. You can come for an hour or stay for the entire day. We will end the day with music from the popular local band, Daily Fruit, and we will enjoy some hot chocolate and tell stories by the fire. Come and join us.".
