Organicfest 2017 Vendors
Organics is more than food...it's a lifestyle that begins in the garden with organic food that's home grown or sold in farmer or grocery markets. It's organic home products, organic cotton clothing, organic baby and children clothes and sustainable toys. It's about healthy living, staying active and fit, caring for the planet, enjoying nature... It's surrounding yourself with more eco-friendly products, recycling, natural arts and crafts. Learn all about living organic at Asheville's Organicfest celebration!
Made in Nature
Made in Nature means great healthy and organic snacks. For more than 25 years, we've taken a stand in the name of real food because frankly, we see no reason to mess with perfection. We go all-out organic in everything we do. We do right by our planet. We support our farmers. And we skip the gross stuff like sulfur; artificial additives colors and flavors; GMOs; and synthetic preservatives pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Stop by our booth at Organicfest and get a taste of what Made in Nature is all about!

Recycled Beautifully
Recycled Beautifully creates elegant jewelry that starts as garbage. Celina Ortiz and her husband find discarded television sets and deconstruct them, removing the copper and aluminum wire in the process. With this valuable material in hand, they wrap the material around stone pendants in a tree-like design. The wire spans the width of the teardrop and oval forms, framing them with delicate branches that electrifyingly extend and wrap around the stone.
Aptly called Tree of Life necklaces, Recycled Beautifully twists and binds the same design over a variety of colors and patterns. Some stones, such as the opal or abalone, have a dazzling, psychedelic feel to them. Other finishes like turquoise or agate are more conventional but equally as stunning, showcasing Earth’s amazing creations with a clever eco-friendly enclosure.
