Historic Biltmore Village businesses and ASAP recently partnered for a perfect evening under the stars. The inaugural event, which is sure to be repeated, served as a fundraiser for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project.
As the evening progressed, the twinkling lanterns came to life as Boston Way was lined with farm tables and as a 5-course gourmet dinner, from appetizers to desserts, was served. Guests had the chance to meet and mingle with our award winning chefs, brew masters, local farmers and a vineyard owner. ASAP works diligently to promote local farms and The Village served fresh produce and meats supplied by those farms. The meal featured some amazing dishes provided by The Cantina., Catawba Brewing, Corner Kitchen, Doubletree Catering, Fig, Hi-Wire Brewing, Red Stag Grill, Rezaz and The Village Wayside.
The event was sponsored by Mtn. Merch, Saint Paul Mountain Vineyard, West Carolina Water Treatment, Wells Fargo, and The Village Group of Oppenheimer and Co. Inc.
The total monies raised have not been tallied yet but a significant donation will be presented to ASAP in the coming week.
Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project is a 501C (3) Non-profit organization whose mission is to help local farms thrive, link farmers to markets and supporters, and build healthy communities through connections to local food.
