Inspired by a passion for real, locally sourced food and a love of Western North Carolina. The meats are grass-fed, pasture raised and free of nitrates, nitrites and antibiotics. Anson Mills provides the heirloom flour and stone ground grits, and Armor Farms in Franklin NC deliver fresh free range eggs. The greens and vegetables are sourced from surrounding WNC and NE Georgia farms. A popular spot for breakfast, the french toast was amazing.
