At the center of the Blue Ridge Mountain’s food culture are hundreds of farms, creameries, apiaries, vineyards, and orchards. They provide the ingredients served in independent restaurants all across the region, providing a taste that is fresh, delicious, and distinctly Appalachian. It’s these local growers and producers that help fuel a buzz-worthy food scene and provide locals and visitors alike with memorable dining experiences. Want to know where to eat? Here are some of our favorites ranging from southern favorites, to barbeque, to sweet treats. Dig in y’all!
