On Sunday, Aug. 18, an estimated
7,000 people took part in the the
fourth Annual Hazon Michigan
Jewish Food Festival, designed to
bring Metro Detroit Jews together to
gain awareness in the areas of food,
food justice, sustainability and health.
This year’
s festival featured approxi-
mately 160 Jewish organizations, local
vendors and justice groups. New this
year was the Lab for Sustainability
Cove, featuring workshops on how to
cook with scraps in Make Food Not
Waste and the Hazon Bike Blender,
which allowed guests to make a
smoothie with bicycle power and no
electricity.
Also new was an Artspace that fea-
tured art made from repurposed and
recycled items, student work from
Soul Studio and a workshop from
the Detroit Institute of Arts that had
attendees make pins out of art slides.
Hazon had guests turn old festival
T-shirts into shopping bags. Signal
Return allowed guests to print a spe-
cial quote using letter press technique
and no electricity. A local veteran’
s
business, which uses scrap leather
from automakers to make shoes and
wallets, provided demonstrations.
People could also head to the MSU
Tollgate Farm, which featured infor-
mation about caring for animals, a
greyhound dog rescue and a chalk
artist who worked alongside kids.
Farmers at the festival were not
only selling produce but were also
asked to provide samples of unusual
vegetables they grow on their land.
Many connections and learning
experiences took place during the
five-hour festival, according to its
director, Marla Schloss.
