Celebrate Intentional Living at Crunchy Culture’s Home and Gnome Fest

Crunchy Culture will host the inaugural Home and Gnome Fest from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 11 at Libertyville-based Frunchroom Collective, bringing together local artisans, wellness experts and gardening enthusiasts for a day dedicated to intentional living.

Held inside Libertyville’s newest café and event space, the festival and pop-up market will transform Frunchroom Collective into a home-and-garden-enthusiast’s paradise. Attendees can explore handcrafted food and beverages; shop local vendors; and participate in expert-led workshops on topics such as coffee brewing, home fermentation and spring gardening.

In addition, there’ll be guided mindfulness and movement sessions; a friendly sourdough bake-off for home bakers; a community seed swap; and plenty of family fun, including dedicated kids’ activities and interactive demos for all ages.

“This event is designed to connect people through traditional skills, mindful hobbies and a shared passion for supporting local business,” says Jane Ulitskaya, founder of Crunchy Culture. “Collaborating with Frunchroom Collective was a natural fit—their space perfectly aligns with our mission of building a wellness-oriented community.”
