Christmas Trees

Organically Raised Christmas Trees

Curtis Buchanan
Jonesborough, TN
423-753-5160

cbuchanan52@hotmail.com
The trees that Curtis offers are free of the toxic chemicals that harm the environment and your health.  These are the first live trees that my family has been able to enjoy without suffering any allergy-like reactions which tells me that previous reactions were not to the trees but to the chemicals. I have enjoyed these trees for several years now and am always amazed at how long they stay fresh and aromatic.  These are also the most beautiful fir trees I have ever seen. After the holidays I put mine outside to shelter birds, and it is sometimes April before it turns brown. Curtis may be the only grower of certified organic fir trees in the nation, and his trees are sold in many parts of the country. We are so lucky to have him in our area!

Foods

Naturally, Organically, and/or Sustainably Raised Foods

I don't recommend these unless I have personally visited the farms or sampled the products, and can whole heartedly support them.

Chava Vital Chocolate

This unique dark chocolate offers a high ORAC (antioxidant) profile combined with two proprietary blends to bring you a truly special (and downright delicious!) chocolate.  Chava is infused with Waiora’s Natural Cellular Defense liquid zeolite, which has been shown to help the body detoxify itself of heavy metals.

The Jonesborough Farmers Market

is a community run, volunteer organized market for the direct sale of farm raised produce and homemade products. We are dedicated to supporting our local farmers and artisans, building our community, and increasing access to and awareness of fresh, healthy, locally grown food. 

Online Market Online ordering is available early and late in the season, and sometimes inbetween, depending on produce availability. When the market is open, it works like this:
From Sunday-Tuesday customers can place orders on “the Market” page of their website for delivery to the Jonesborough Visitors Center on Wednesdays at 5:30pm

Last, but not least, staying here costs less than most national chain hotel rooms, and the owners, Neeraj Kebede and Victoria 'Vicki' Schomer, are a pleasure to talk with.

These funny looking nuts do a fantastic job of leaving laundry clean and sweet smelling.  I even tested them against doggie bedding and even a load of smelly dish cloths, and was amazed at the results.  If you are looking for a gentle, natural alternative to conventional laundry detergents and household cleaners, this is definitely one you need to try!
