ASAP’s Local Food Experience

Meet the people changing our food system and taste the flavors of summer in the mountains, one bite at a time.

Eating local is about more than just food. It’s about the relationship with the farmer, the connection to place and heritage, and the sense of community that comes from knowing the story behind your food. It’s about experiencing something fresh, seasonal, and grown here. On August 18, 5:30-8:30, savor the food traditions of our Southern Appalachian Mountains, and meet your farms, artisans, and businesses working together to localize our food system.

Attendees will enjoy a sampling of local food tastings, small dishes, and seasonal fare served by Appalachian Grown farms and partners including Looking Glass Creamery, Sunburst Trout Farms, Imladris Farm, Green River Picklers, Dan Silo og Buxton Hall Barbecue, Waynesville Soda Jerks, Hickory Nut Gap Farm, Ultimate Ice Cream, French Broad Chocolates, HomeGrown, and more! For more information visit www.asapconnections.org

There will also be family friendly activities, and a silent auction offering exclusive local food experiences, including farm stays, winery tours, private dinner, and more. A full list of auction items can be viewed on our website.

12th Annual Franklin Area Folk Festival

A FREE event, this family-friendly festival features live heritage demonstrations, Appalachian crafts, old-time mountain music & jammin’ sessions, Civil War Re-enactors, antique car show/engines, kids’ activities, food, tours & more! Artisans inside Cowee School, Arts & Heritage Center exhibit Macon County’s rich heritage by teaching us about pottery, textiles, painting, and local history. By linking our future to our past, the Franklin Area Folk Festival sponsors hands-on activities to allow visitors to experience what mountain life was like way back when. These folks learned at their parents’ knee woodcarving, moonshinin’, basket making, weaving, and all the many other heritage skills they’ll be demonstrating. Highlights include quilts on display like the famous Cabarras Quilt and the Original World’s Largest Quilt, the village blacksmith, border collies’ demonstration, Front Porch storytelling, and one-room school. Come learn about the culture and folkways of our Southern Appalachian Mountains by engaging in one of the many living history experiences, a trademark of the Franklin Area Folk Festival, “A Celebration of Appalachian Heritage.”
