Living the “simple life” is a notion that speaks to Texans, whether it’s saving money on groceries by tending a garden or using herbs and essential oils to stay healthy.

“That’s why Mother Earth News Magazine is proud to bring its flagship event back to Texas for the seventh year,” said Andrew Perkins, director of the Mother Earth News Fair.

The Fair is the nation’s largest and longest-running sustainable lifestyle event, and they will host its Texas edition Feb. 18-19 at the Bell County Expo Center. The Fair runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Fairgoers can attend more than 150 workshops that cover food preparation and preservation, small-scale and backyard livestock, organic gardening, natural health, renewable energy, homesteading, and other self-sufficiency-related topics.
