My husband and I are enjoying living in Hendersonville, NC. Our Appalachian Mountain town is located between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains. We are close to great hikes, beautiful waterfalls and a bustling downtown. Two of our “must haves” when looking for a new place to call home included an inclusive community and access to fresh and healthy food. We gratefully found what we held to be most important to us. The community (kula) we sought welcomed us with open arms. Our fresh and healthy food is either grown by people we know or folks we meet at the Farmer’s Market and we have a wonderful food co-op nearby.
