Event Details:
Join us September 8th for a Sunday afternoon on the farm with two great Atlanta chefs: Kevin Rathbun and Gerry Klaskala.
You’ll get a behind-the-scenes experience of a diverse small farm, followed by a five-course dinner with wine pairings, while also supporting Macon CareNet, a great organization working to feed our neighbors in need.
Begin with an afternoon tour of Winding Stair Farm, 12 miles west of Franklin, NC. This privately-owned farm, on the headwaters of the Nantahala River, is known for growing heirloom and artisan vegetables, pasture-raised meat, and eggs.
Enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at the Grist Mill. At the northern edge of the farm on Trough Branch, this picturesque mill, with its 18-foot diameter water wheel, is located in a pasture of Icelandic Sheep with a view to Firescald Ridge.
As the evening cools you’ll dine at tables along the Nantahala River, just below the Firescald Ridge. Focusing on produce from the farm and foods sourced from the surrounding area, the five-course meal will be prepared and served family-style by the chefs complete with wine pairings.
After dinner, enjoy the music of Ol’ Dirty Bathtub, and mingle with other guests, and the chefs in the large open pavilion or by the river.
