Fans of organic food rejoice, Cartago will host the first-ever Cultivating Pura Vida Festival this weekend to promote organic and GMO-free produce.

The free festival will feature the sale of GMO-free produce grown without the use of chemicals. Attendees can also attend chats about the organic farming process and learn how to switch their farm to organic.
