May brings flowers and focus on wellness

The May issue of Natural Awakenings Magazine of Virginia's Blue Ridge is focused on Women's Wellness. Taking a holistic approach to living a healthy and vibrant life keeps things interesting. Women and men face many demands on their time these days, and offering access to up-to-date information and resources make the best use of the time available.

Blue Ridge Green Media is supporting the businesses of our region with marketing options. Natural Awakenings Magazine is our print publication, distributed in 15 counties and at over 360 locations. We are offering new All-in-One Marketing packages for 12-months and 6-months advertisers who want to integrate print advertising with digital media marketing. Each package has been created to give businesses the most impact for their specific budget. Our deadline is fast approaching for the May issue (Wednesday, April 10).

This May's issue we have a special offer specific to Farmers Markets and Growers.

Local farmers and growers in the Blue Ridge region produce high quality, fresh produce, eggs, meat, fruit and other edibles for residents and visitors to our area. 

The people looking for those delicious, locally grown and crafted products are exactly who read our magazine and visit our online communities. We are producing a Farmers Market and Farm to Table section from May through October to meet the demands of our readers. These are the months that residents and visitors to the Blue Ridge region get a taste of the freshest seasonal offerings and we want our readers to know where they are and when to buy.
