Sow and Grow Fest is a family-friendly event celebrating Western North Carolina’s vibrant food and farming community.

Join Organic Growers School as it celebrates 30 years of inspiring, educating, and supporting people to farm, garden, and live organically.

Come out to the Smoky Park Supper Club to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon tasting local food trucks, sipping on local craft beer, and stomping your feet to Bluegrass and Americana classics, including Junction 280.

Discover the joy of growing with a seed and plant share, and check out the extraordinary offerings from local vendors, including Sow True Seeds, Red Moon Herbs, Olivette Farm, Well-Seasoned Table, Embrew Tea, Dirtcraft Organics, Mother Earth Food, Useful Plants, Asheville Tool Rental, Gribley Permaculture, Macon York Press, and more.

There's something for the youngest growers, too. They can test their skill with lawn games, play in Dr. Bronner's Foam Experience, and unleash their creativity with a garden mural.

And the best part? Admission is free.

By attending, you'll support Organic Growers School's work to provide real-world educational programs, mentorship, and peer-to-peer support networks for farmers, home growers, and sustainability seekers.
