Mason is our Events & Outreach Coordinator at Mountain Rose Herbs. Eugene born and raised, he found an early interest in nutrition which eventually brought him to the world of herbalism. Mason attends fun events in the community and brings back the stories for us all to enjoy…
Last weekend, a few of us quested into the faerie-realm with organic herbal goodies to share. Mountain Rose Herbs had a booth at the magical and mystical event known as Faerieworlds. This enchanting carnival, located in our beautiful forested Eugene, hosts some 20,000 faerie folk each summer.
We served deliciously floral “Faerietale” sun tea to thirsty faire-goers during the weekend, had an organic tincture bar for sampling a collection of herbs from Echinacea and Skullcap to Damiana and Kava Kava, and misted perfumed potions like Rose Hydrosol and Aphrodite Aroma Spray to help keep us cool. As always, we also handed out fun freebies such as the very popular "I Heart Herbs" stickers, flower masks, and herbal posters.
I spent hours wandering among the booths, admiring the arts and crafts which were, to say the least, phenomenal. Recycled junk jewelry, steam-punk accessories, handmade wings, body painting, and henna art. Not to mention all of the extravagant costumes that folks had fashioned; this may have been the best part of the weekend!
Really amazing costumes...
Music enchanted us day and night, most notably Lindsey Stirling and Delhi 2 Dublin with their high spirited fiddling. The food was scrumptious and included many of our favorite local food carts that serve up organic treats. Faerieworlds’ climactic end came on Sunday night when rock and roll legend, Donovan, performed a set he calls, “The Living Crystal Faery Realm”.
The entire weekend was filled with some of the most swashbuckling good times I’ve had in a fortnight! I think the faeries will be visiting my dreams until next year...
