There’s vision for a farmer’s market on the square in Jefferson. The residents are requesting local, fresh produce. The owner has approval for a 3,600 square foot space with lots of parking. If you’d be interested in getting together with a small group to brainstorm the possibilities, please contact us at info@sonnewald.org. Please share with others who might be interested.

Here are a few facts about disposables that might surprise you:
1. From birth-to-potty training, each baby will wear about 6000 disposable diapers.
2. Disposable diapers take 250-500 years to decompose.
3. Once they are used, roughly 90 percent to 95 percent of the 18 billion feces-and urine-filled disposable diapers enter the household trash stream and ultimately end up in landfills, creating an immediate public health hazard. Leachate containing viruses from human feces (including live vaccines from routine childhood immunizations) can leak into the Earth and pollute underground water supplies. In addition to the potential of groundwater contamination, air-borne viruses carried by flies and other insects contribute to an unhealthy and unsanitary situation.
4. Disposable diapers expose babies to harmful toxins including dioxin, TBT and sodium polyacrilite and are linked to increases in skin sensitivities, respiratory illnesses and even declining fertility rates in males!
The demo station is beautiful – we have 3 baskets of eggs – naturally colorful eggs (from the chicken that way), beautiful brown tones done with onion skins and some pretty bright colors using spices, vegetables, & fruits for dye. View our Natural Egg Dyes Recipes sheet. The naturally colorful eggs are from a local farm and available at Sonnewald in 6 packs.
Complete your basket with “repurposed” shredded paper. We have it bagged and ready to pick-up on the front porch, available while supplies last.
