Kindred spirits, Mystic and Asheville share a small but vibrant culinary landscape; with local farms and food artisans supplying a network of independent restaurants. Food sustains us, food connects us, and when affected by adversity, we extend a helping hand to rebuild and restore a food community like ours.
The All Hands On Deck dinner will support The Culinary Gardener Farm, and ASAP, Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project.
Evan Chender, The Culinary Gardener, has a small farm in Asheville that has been significantly damaged by Hurricane Helene. The farm’s market has been decimated by the storm. We ask your help in funding the reconstruction of a critical food source in Asheville’s culinary community, and to help support the 7 dedicated employees who keep the farm running.
