Mast General sales to go toward conservation

Purchases at Waynesville’s Mast General Store Saturday, June 6, will help out with land conservation.

For that day, the store will donate a percentage of its sales to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy to support local land and water conservation efforts.

“Our conservation work directly impacts tourism as an economic driver in Western North Carolina communities,” said Cheryl Fowler, SAHC’s Membership Director. “We are grateful that many of our business partners have recognized this fact and pledged to ‘give back’ by donating a percentage of the day’s sales.”

Land Trust Day is held each year in conjunction with National Trails Day, the first Saturday in June.

Tofu is the curd (like a cheese) of soybeans and comes in different textures from soft or silken to firm and extra-firm. Tofu is a good source of plant-based protein. Soft and silken have the consistency of a Greek yogurt, while firm and extra-firm tofu are more similar to a harder cheese or chicken breast.

When you’re busy it’s easy to grab something like a candy bar or soda to give you a quick hit of energy, but the reality is that those types of snacks are high in sugar which won’t keep you full, satisfied or fueled for long. Some better snack ideas:
