Just wanted to take a quick second this evening to express my gratitude to Samantha Jack. She's been a rockstar in helping me get things accomplished for the upcoming events. Your help is so greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Tell me what you know about this roadside beauty....

I have a little something I've been holding back because I wasn't sure how well it would be accepted but it has everything to do with this soft tall flowering bundle of joy.

The truth in this. It's so much more than purchases. A share, a like, comments, tagging a friend. They all ensure that this little small business can continue to help people

You don’t have to spend money to support local. Sometimes a share, tag, or kind comment goes a long way!

Put a pin in this. You will want to revisit it this fall

Bigfoot was spotted hanging around the Nelsonville fountain this week, checking in on the progress and making sure everything is coming along nicely.

With restoration work nearing completion, one of Nelsonville’s most recognizable landmarks is getting ready for its return. New plumbing, updated electrical work, and fresh concrete will help bring new life to a piece of local history.

Bigfoot approves.

Speaking of things making a return… we’re thinking about doing a limited run of Nelsonville Bigfoot Festival t-shirts. If you’d wear one, let us know in the comments and drop your size below!

As I finally catch my breath after an incredible weekend, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone involved with the Nelsonville Music Festival.

What an absolutely beautiful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere created throughout the festival was unlike anything I've experienced before—a place where people are welcomed, celebrated, and encouraged to show up exactly as they are. The kindness, inclusivity, and sense of community could be felt everywhere you turned.

As a first-time vendor at the festival, I was nervous stepping into such a large event, but the support, guidance, and help I received along the way made all the difference. Every interaction reminded me why this festival has earned such an incredible reputation.

The Nelsonville Music Festival truly sets the bar high for what a festival experience should be. The thoughtful planning, amazing music, talented artists, dedicated volunteers, and welcoming environment created something truly special.

I am so grateful that Authentic Roots was able to be a small part of it all, and I am already looking forward to many more years of memories, music, and community.

Thank you, Nelsonville Music Festival, for an unforgettable experience. 🌿✨❤️

We say it all the time but I want you to hear me this time. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Please pour love into yourself so you can then pour love into others. If you run on empty constant, and don’t tend to yourself there is no love for you to pass along. Take time for yourself

A Gentle Return to Self

If you are unhappy,

begin with yourself.

Not as a problem to solve, but as a garden that may have gone untended.

Offer it water, rest, sunlight.

Sometimes sorrow is simply exhaustion asking for care.

If you are restless,

begin with the hands.

Plant something.
Mend something.
Create something.

What cannot be solved by thought sometimes softens through the act of creating.

If you are lonely,

begin with connection.

A message.
A conversation.
A shared silence.

The heart rarely asks for much more than presence.

And if you do not know where to begin,

begin anywhere.

A meal.
A walk.
A page.
A call.

Life rarely changes all at once.

It turns quietly on small, faithful acts

until one day,

almost without noticing,

what felt like surviving

has become

living again.
