Welcome to the Eco-Justice Center, a haven of sustainable practices and environmental education nestled in Racine, Wisconsin.
The Eco-Justice Center is a green, sustainable living 15 acre site run by sisters and staff. This past weekend I attended their Fall Festival.

At the core of the Eco-Justice Center’s mission is the belief in the interconnectedness of all living beings and the need for sustainable practices. The center serves as a sanctuary, embracing eco-friendly principles in every aspect of its operations.

The Eco-Justice Center empowers people to take action and make environmentally conscious choices in their daily lives, fostering a sense of responsibility for the well-being of our planet.
Sustainable Agriculture and Local Food Production
The Eco-Justice Center is dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture and local food production. Through its organic farming practices, the center demonstrates the importance of cultivating crops in harmony with nature. Visitors can witness firsthand the benefits of sustainable agriculture, learn about the importance of healthy soil, and explore alternative farming methods that minimize environmental impact. The center also hosts workshops and events that highlight the value of local food systems, encouraging individuals to support local farmers and reduce their carbon footprint.
