Farm-to-Table in Asheville: Restaurants Embracing Local Small-Scale Artisan Farms


What Is Farm-to-Table Produce?

Farm-to-table produce is a trend that’s picked up a lot of steam in recent years, with patrons of farm-to-table restaurants taking a deep appreciation in the relationship between local farms and restaurants. The phrase “farm-to-table,” though somewhat self-explanatory, describes a fast-growing culinary and social movement that celebrates both the freshness and variety of local ingredients as well as local food’s reduced impact on the environment. When food is brought directly from a local farm to a local restaurant, the transportation needs go way down, which is great news for the environmental impact that food has.


Asheville is the perfect example of a culinary scene impacted by the growing farm-to-table movement. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, Asheville is an area rich in agricultural diversity. Many of the city's restaurants have embraced the farm-to-table mindset, using fresh, seasonal, and locally-grown ingredients in their menus.
