Here’s the mention:

The organic food industry, now one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, is good for your health and the planet’s. Celebrate National Organic Harvest month on Sept. 6 at the 7th annual OrganicFest.

Held at Battery Park in Asheville, N.C., from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the event will feature some of the finest organic foods and refreshments from across the country. This event is sponsored by a local non-profit, Imagine Center, that aims to promote the organic lifestyle through fun, educational events.

Increase your green knowledge – visit the array of environmental organizations standing by to answer your organic living, organic gardening and other Earth care questions. Activities will include live music, dancing and drawings for organic goods and gift certificates, as well as an OrganicFest kids parade.
