Though we expect to have apples through Labor Day weekend, demand and weather impact supply so please keep an eye on the picking schedule page for updates.

When reflecting on the current state of the environment, it seems that we have entered into times of seismic sorrows. Carbon emissions, water pollution, fracking, and changing climate patterns all point to a troubling reality with serious consequences for human and non-human populations. Through weavings, installations, sculpture, and print, artists Rena Detrixhe and Tali Weinberg (Tulsa, OK) explore the complex relationship between humans and the planet, offering insights, expressing grief, and creating space for resilience and change.

In Time of Seismic Sorrows is curated by Marilyn Zapf and organized by the Center for Craft. The Center for Craft is supported in part by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

The French Broad Food Co+op is bringing back the buying club.

Grovewood Village is housed in the historic weaving and woodworking complex of Biltmore Industries, a noteworthy enterprise in the history of American Craft and textiles, founded by Edith Vanderbilt and two inspired teachers, Eleanor Vance and Charlotte Yale. At the height of its success in the late 1920s, Biltmore Industries had a total of 40 looms in steady operation, producing bolts of some of the finest handwoven wool fabric in the country. Orders were shipped as far as China and Uruguay, and customers included the likes of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Helen Keller, and several U.S. presidents and first ladies.

Embedded within the names of many yoga poses there are intricate and ancient Indian myths and stories. These stories answer timeless questions about our human nature and serve as a compass in the complexities of navigating the human experience. Myths help us make sense of the world and may offer insights into our personal experience with the sacred. Modern yoga has been mostly connected to its physical benefits, however when we explore the mythological nature of yoga and learn about some of these heroic figures, we may connect to our psyche and the divine. As Joseph Campbell wrote in his book The Power of Myth, “Mythology is not a lie, mythology is poetry; it is metaphorical. It has been well said that mythology is the penultimate truth…”

Come and explore with Joe Taft an experience of a fun yoga practice interwoven with the perennial truths found in these ancient mythologies. Joe Taft has been studying India’s fabulous mythological heritage with renowned yoga scholars for nearly two decades. Joe’s enjoyment of these stories is contagious. He will conduct this workshop in such a way as to provide a deeper knowledge of the divine Gods and Goddesses so that you will have fun discovering which ones resonate with you and how these mythic figures are alive in each of us to a greater or lesser degree. Joe promises an uplifting and playful asana practice interwoven with these stories as empowering metaphors. All levels are welcome!
