That weekend is also the 3rd Annual True Nature Country Fair just outside Asheville, held by The Organic Grower's School.


Quoted:
A celebration of life lived in connection with the Earth. The Fair welcomes farmers, gardeners, homebuilders, craftspeople, social & political activists, conscious consumers and alternative healthcare practitioners to the Big Ivy Community Center September 26 & 27, 2009 to gather and enjoy live music, local and organic food, a kids program, trade show, raffle, and much more! The Fair is a wonderful event for the whole family, and we are proud of our new location, just 20 minutes north of Asheville, NC, in the wonderful rural community of Barnardsville.

It's also the Fall Southern Appalachian RU at Lake Julian in Asheville.
