Bernie & Sandy Byrne

Sandy and Bernie Byrne are Iowa born via Coral Gables/Miami FL. Bernie grew up on a farm in northwest Iowa and Sandy in Iowa City, the home of the University of Iowa (Hawkeyes). Sandy has authored several books and has traveled the world lecturing & teaching Ultrasound of the Eye. She feels so fortunate to have helped so many people with unique eye problems. We are overjoyed to be in the Asheville area for 18 years now and have worked diligently to develop a true intentional and sustainable community just 25 minutes north of Asheville called Mountain Meadows on Crooked Creek. We developed the first soda in the U.S. to use Stevia in 2002 (formerly Sulo Healthy Soda) and have deliciously tweaked the formulas to create Bernie's NATURAL soda - low sugar, low calorie, no artificials, all healthier ingredients - and expect to gather investors soon to begin production. A lifetime Classic Coke drinker swore he could not tell the difference (we suggested he not swear). Just recently we converted our Biltmore Loft in Downtown Asheville to a vacation rental. We want to use it often too so we loaded it up with the most comfortable and convenient furnishings and electronics to go along with all of the exciting energies in Downtown Asheville. Excellent health in all physical, mental, and spiritual ways has been our positive passion for a long time and we feel so privileged to enjoy our families including our kids, Cherie, Donnie & Nicole along with our granddaughters Amanda, Maddie, & Tabitha.
