Live Green Eco-Festival

We attended the Live Green Eco-Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah this afternoon on a whim of sorts. We just got back from a family vacation and we're all still a bit tired, but the drive down to Salt Lake was well worth it!



There were several vendors selling ready-to-plant vegetables. The widest variety came in the form of heirloom tomatoes. Since Tara and I are both very interested in propagating seeds from our garden to plant the next year's crops as much as possible, we were very interested in the unique heirloom varieties. Here are a few that we decided to bring home with us (click on the pictures for a larger view):





There were several other attractions to the Live Green Eco-Festival as well. We didn't have time to watch any of the movies or presentations, but we perused the booths and grabbed a bite to eat from the zero-waste food vendors.



Tara also found some very nice soap and couldn't help but bring a few bars home with us. (I guess there are worse things to be addicted to!)

One of the more prominent highlights of the festival, though, was the kombucha Tara found! This was quite a surprise as we've been wanting to start brewing our own kombucha tea but had no idea where to find a live culture.
