IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS TO THE FAIR! We will have farm animals onsite that may be spooked by your dogs. NO PETS ALLOWED!!!

Farmers, homebuilders, craftspeople, restaurateurs, social and political activists, and conscious consumers of the Southern Appalachians gather together for a weekend of local food, sustainable product trade show, plant walks, sustainable living workshops, a kids program, and more! 

     The True Nature Country Fair is a celebration of life lived in connection with the Earth.The focus on local, organic, and sustainable means that everything featured at the Fair is from the southern  Appalachian region and will be produced from resources that are at least 50% organic and/or sustainable. The exhibit areas include a farmers market, energy and shelter, health and healing, social and political action, and crafts. The education component includes workshops on gardening, farming, and homesteading, plus nature walks, a children's program, and small livestock displays.

A weekend-long event, the daily entrance fees for the Fair are $5 for adults, $3 for children ages 3-12, and free for children ages 2 and younger.
