Falls Brook Fair A Celebration of Rural Life

Posted On September 12, 2012

The annual Falls Brook Fair in Knowlesville, NB was held over the weekend of September 1st & 2nd and was a wonderful and educational celebration of all that is good and sustainable in our beautiful rural New Brunswick Communities.
 
This year of 2102 marks a tipping point for global awareness…Do you really want to live in the current Globalist Wet Dream of a world-wide Corporate Fascist Regime with GMO Food and cheap imported goods made by Third World Slave Labor, or do you want to live in sustainable, supportive, home-town home-grown and organic communities?
 

The clock is ticking….
 

Falls Brook Centre is tucked away in remote Knowlesville, NB but it still draws hundreds of people to its annual fair.

There was fabulous food to be had, beautiful crafts and art to savor, workshops to learn from , and good company to be enjoyed all day Saturday & Sunday September 1st & 2nd.
 

Falls Brook Centre was founded in 1990 as a sustainable community demonstration and training centre. It is situated on 200 acres of beautiful, rolling Acadian forest and farmland.

The grounds of the centre are an evolving work in progress with organic gardens, and orchards. It is all meticulously kept and is an inspiration to all who would like to get back to our roots and land!
 

You may attend workshops and classes or take tours of the facilities.
 

The Conference Centre is electrically powered by photovoltaic cells which run the lights and computer. A windmill on the roof supplements the building’s power needs.

There is a straw bale house on the grounds that was built entirely with hand tools. It is framed with post & beam construction and insulated with bales of straw. Solar panels on the roof provide light for the building.
 

Every year groups of interns come from all over Canada to live and learn at this centre.
 

There is an Herbarium Garden with a rich assortment of culinary and medicinal herbs, a berry garden and a mushroom site where over 100 logs are incubated with oyster and shitake mushroom spawn.
 

Especially wonderful is the Maritime Preservation Garden. This is a heritage seed garden with open pollinated vegetables, beans and grains that come from generations of people saving, sharing and trading their seeds. This is particularly important in this age when big agri-companies such as Monsanto are attempting to monopolize our food production.
