The forests of Appalachia can host an incredible diversity of delicious foods, making our region
ideal for the practice of forest farming–a sustainable production system which helps keep a
forest healthy by introducing more biodiversity. This practice introduces cultivated crops into
forest settings by integrating trees and shrubs, offering up inventive ingredients to the food
system while also offering environmental, economic and social benefits. Almost any plant or
fungus that needs shade can be grown in a forest farming system. Join Chow Chow for

mouth-watering tastes of the forests as you learn from Craig Mauney, local forest farmer and paw paw
ambassador, and Bill Whipple, of the Acornucopia Project and Asheville Nuttery.

Dive in with us for a tasting feast exploring sustainable seafood and fish from the mountains
to the sea. Learn about the best choices you can make to ensure you are eating seafood and
fish that are well managed and caught or farmed responsibly. Conversation will address the
challenges and opportunities in the fish and seafood industry, and how we all, from the water
to the plate, can work together for a more sustainable future.

Root to bloom eating encourages us to enjoy our food to its full potential by using forgotten or
often discarded parts of fruits, flowers and vegetables. This practice can increase the amount
of edible food for consumption, using the same amount of resources, while also reducing food
waste. Join Chow Chow for a flavorful vegetarian whole plant dinner, taking guests on a multisensorial dining journey starting from the seed in the ground all the way to the flower and
its essence. This experience will leave you more mindful about food waste and aware of the
benefits derived from eating plants in their entirety. Learn about natural plant-based dyes with
a demonstration from Echoview Fiber Mill, including indigo and black walnuts, and dyes that
can be made from vegetable scraps including onion skins and avocado pits.

A two-year layoff has been just too much for host Adam Arthur and his idiot contestants. But they are back for three months of lukewarm competition and semi-sweet rivalries. Once a staple of the Asheville comedy scene, the return of this pseudo game show will be most welcome.

The 14th annual Art in Autumn Outdoor Arts and Crafts Festival is a much loved event held on Main Street in downtown Weaverville, North Carolina, located in Buncombe County 7 miles from downtown Asheville. The festival features over 100 juried artists and craftspeople, and live music.

Opened in 1948 by Fred “Rabbit” Simpson, Rabbit’s Motel was a crown jewel of Black-owned
Tourist Courts for African-American travelers in the segregation-era South, and provided
lodging and soul-food dining for many Black travelers. Rabbit’s Motel sat in the heart of
Southside, a flourishing African-American community that was one of many early-Asheville
vibrant Black communities in Asheville. SoundSpace@Rabbit’s, opened in 2020, will create a
creative arts hub in Asheville including music rehearsal studio space, soul food kitchen and
artist studios, and will promote historic pride while embracing a model of diversity in the most
authentic way possible, through music, art, community, and food. Join us for a lively event
featuring music, drinks and bites inspired by the original Rabbit’s Motel and Cafe
