New England Mineral Extractor

09/28/2026

We had a great time at the Garlic and Arts Festival in our hometown of Orange. I love doing this festival as it's all locally produced stuff and I get to share off all the cool rocks I've dug right here in the Northeast! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and we hope to see you all next year!

We are excited to be vending at the Garlic and Arts Festival again this year! Come check out our booth New England Mineral Extractor to see an amazing array of locally collected mineral specimens.

🧄 The 28th Annual North Quabbin Garlic&Arts Festival comes to Orange on September 26 & 27, set on a historic farm surrounded by fall foliage. More than 100 exhibitors showcase art, farm products, healing arts, and community groups. Live music and performances fill three stages, with food vendors and chef demonstrations keeping everyone well fed. Kids have their own art-making tent and garlic games. The festival is built around sustainability, with minimal-waste practices and workshops on local living.
