The festival exhibited plenty of organic vegetables, fruits, as well as other heirloom products. The festival promotes vegetarian diet, vegan recipe, cruelty-free lifestyles, and Non-GMO products.
"Along with our programs to help cats, dogs, horses and other companion animals, we've been promoting compassion for all farm animals for more than 25 years," said Jeff Dorson the executive director and founder of the festival.
