Asheville’s first health food store is celebrating 50 years. What better way to celebrate half a century of Earth Fare’s sustainable, organic eats and artificial ingredient- and additive-free foods than with a birthday party (and free cake, of course)?

When the store came onto the scene in 1975, it was known by a different moniker — Dinner for the Earth. Nearly 20 years (and several expansions) later, the Asheville market officially rebranded as Earth Fare.

This Saturday, head to the Westgate store from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a parking lot party. We’re talking live bluegrass music, a beer garden, vendor + craft fair, and egg hunt. Plus, across all Earth Fare stores, FreshPure Waters is offering free reverse osmosis water fill-ups — just bring your own container.
