This weekend was the 5th annual Organic Islands Festival and Sustainability Expo. We always enjoy the festival but this is the first year I got to enjoy it not as a volunteer. It is so enjoyable to be surrounded by like-minded, eco-conscious people. We tried some yummy organic goodies, amazing organic wine and ciders and a whole bunch more cool stuff. We also talked to people about solar and wind energy, organic gardening, composting and collecting rainwater. Very interesting.
Some of the treats we came away with were:
- organic Sage plants
- local rhubarb concentrate from Sea Cider Farms
- bamboo towels from Good Planet
- native flower seeds from CRD
- natural soaps from Rocky Mountain Soap Co.
- Yerba Mate iced tea
If you are in the area next year I highly encourage you to visit the festival. It is always the first week of July. Visit the website for a list of exhibitors and info on the festival itself.
Glad you enjoyed the Organic Islands Festival and thanks for the mention of Rocky Mountain Soap. It was great to be a part of something big and meet so many nice, like minded people.

It was great to see you guys there. Just so you know I am so addicted to your pumpkin soap! I tried it after the festival and ended up going to pick up 3 more bars. Love it!
