“Red, white, or green? You can go for all three, at least at this weekend’s celebration of all things sustainable. Jon Frey’sbiodynamic vineyard will be pouring away — alongside 190 other exhibitors — at Sat/9-Sun/10′s Green Festival.

If the extensive alphabetical list of vendors gives an apt portrayal of Green Fest’s floorplan, Frey will shack up alongside From War to Peace, a husband-wife jewelry team that creates fashion from dismantled nuclear missile systems. One booth over, Frontier Angel Soap will leave passer-bys sweet-smelling and squeaky clean. Displays of sustainable goodies in other aisles of the Concourse Exhibition Center? Eco-friendly river rafting, passively-powered thermal art, and rolfing, a holistic system of soft tissue massage created by Dr. Ida Rolf.”

“The rundown: Hey San Francisco, it’s time to walk your talk. Sure, you say you’re green friendly, but are you wearing your vegetables, or writing onrecycled turd paper? Saturday’s Green Festival brings together some of the country’s greenest artisans, small businesses, and nonprofits, with plenty of healthy foodstuffs for good measure. Never fear, your options are more extensive thangreen magma and Chia juice; they include Indian food from Colorado, pie from Uhuru Pies in Oakland, vegan corn dogs and garlic fries from Gourmet Faire, tamales from Donna’s Tamales, and much more. You can also talk sustainable seafood with the watchdogs at Monterey Bay Aquarium, sign up for an urban farming class with BioFuel Oasis, or high-five PETA for their Tempeh District gag.”

“This weekend, on April 9th and 10th, the  Green Festival is making its way to San Francisco’s San Francisco Concourse Exhibition Center.  The Green Festival is one of the most prime Eco events where people of every age, from sustainable business professionals to Eco-curious kids, come together to celebrate, educate, and showcase the many benefits and possibilities of green living and green business.

This year, there will be a guaranteed abundance of food, fashion, and more. Samples, DIY hands-on workshops, career seminars, and a vegetarian food court are reason enough to spend your weekend oogling and oggling over products and people that are passionate about being green and saving our planet. Plenty of speakers, music, and even a special “Green Kids Zone” for kids will be present to provide fun and enjoyment for everyone.

The Green Festival only happens twice a year (in the Spring and Fall) so be sure to save time and money by going online and purchasing your tickets now. We’ve got the down-low on the hook up at Green Box Top, a fellow sustainable business with groupon-like coolness. Green Box Top is currently selling GreenFest tickets for 50% OFF ($7.50!) Click here or head on over towww.greenboxtop.com before the deal is over!”
