Our September event will be hosted at Addison Vineyard in Leicester, NC, on September 27th, an auspicious day for those in the local region. This is our first time hosting a Trial to Table at this beautiful location, but Chris (Executive Director) and Terri (Culinary Director) know it well. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Addison Vineyard served as an informal meeting ground, offering a respite amidst the chaos.

An incredible group of chef teams and food creators will join us. Each will offer you delicious and creative dishes.
Chefs Camille Cogswell & Casey Ruiz (Walnut Family Bakery)
Chefs Keia Mastriani & Jamie Swafford (Milk Glass Pie & Old North Farm)
Chefs Erica Beneke & Matt Farr (Red Fiddle Vittles)
Chefs Erin O’Keefe & David Toporek (Friends & Neighbors)
Chef Tiffany Schultz (Sorghum Demo Table)
Farmers Leeza Chen & Luanna Nesbitt (Southern Pea Crop Trial Table)

At each event, we strive to offer a variety of vegetable-forward options.

The events are casual and relaxed with a strong focus on food that supports regional sustainability and resilience. Your ticket is an admission ticket that allows you to sample all the fantastic dishes. We generally have a short presentation partway through to highlight our work and enable the chefs to share their passions!
