The World Class 5th Annual Heirloom Festival Continues to Inspire the Pure Food Movement & Much More!


Santa Rosa, CA. ~ Come and tour the aisles at the event dubbed “the world’s pure food fair!”, a massive assembly of pure food enthusi- asts, talented home gardeners, farm- ers, school groups and leaders in the food industry. This is a “not-for-prof- it” event, all funds above cost will be donated to school gardening education and other sustain- able food programs. September 8, 9 and 10, 2015. Open daily 11:00 am - 8:00 pm. Open for schools at


9:00 am on kids day (Thurs- day) The 5th Annual National Heirloom Exposition will fea- ture a wide array of natural vendors from across the coun- try and beyond. In 2014 we hosted over 350 vendors, each showcasing products pertain- ing to natural food, gardening, sustainability, green living and so much more! Unlike any other exposition


in the world, our vendors epito- mize the pure food movement, both in their diversity and in the sustainability of their ap- proach: many offer innovative ideas and leading-edge prod- ucts. Everything from heirloom seed varieties to produce, live plants to organic garden prod- ucts to clothing, household products, and craft items will be available!


Some of the most innova-

Come learn about amazing worthwhile commu- nity projects, and just catch up on what’s been changing in the pure food movement. You’re sure to make some new friends!
