Ok this literally just came to me and I don’t have the details fully worked out in my head so go easy on me.
As we head into the winter months, it’s gonna get harder to have events. Also, I want to have more events in 2021 that don’t revolve around beer.
I did a Coffee Crawl in Charlotte a few years ago and it was fun. Let’s hop around Asheville going to indie coffee shops and rate the drinks – caffeinated, decaf, tea, hot cocoa, etc. We can take notes and come up with a winning shop, maybe go back and get a gift card to support the cafe.
Open to all suggestions and starting point recommendations

The Apprentice Link database connects people who are serious about learning the sustainable farming trade with farmers who are willing to teach them in an apprenticeship setting. Our programs’ emphasis is specifically in the Southern Appalachians, with a focus on farms that participate in local Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (CRAFT) programs.
To be included in this listing, Organic Growers School has vetted each farm to determine of the following criteria has been met:
- Farms are actively engaged in the local community.
- Farms are using organic and/or sustainable production methods. Organic Certification and other certifications are not required, but we do ask that farms and farmers are “in-the-know” and conscientiously practicing organic standards.
- Farms are dedicated to training new farmers by providing education as a pinnacle element of their apprenticeship program.
