Farmers Market Benefit
Growers to donate at least 10% of sales to Harvest of Hope
Fund, an emergency fund that helps Wisconsin farmers
through bleak times

Our national and political leaders fail to even consider
the most vital of questions: As 60 years of trends across
our land rapidly continue to displace farm families, who is
going to raise our food?

As factory farming replaces food production with product
production, the physical and spiritual costs are
staggering. How do we live out the Christian call in the
midst of this to live in right relationship with the land
and each other? Come hear Tony Ends speak to these and
other issues. Tony is the director of the Churches' Center
for Land and People in Sinsinawa, WI, a network of churches
and organizations working for the betterment of rural
families and communities through integration of earth
stewardship, community, spirituality and justice.

Come and make a difference by voting with your pocketbook
at the fair trade winter farmers' market! Some items you
will see are: woolen goods, farmstead milk soap, cheeses,
meats, honey, and organic flour. All vendors make or grow
what they sell and follow sustainable fair trade practices.

Co-sponsored by the Churches' Center for Land and People
and the JustFaith groups of the Riverbank Catholic
Connection. For more information contact Tony Ends at
Scotch Hill Farm, 608-897-4288 or Ryan O'Rourke at Ss.
