For 29 years, the Appalachian RC&D Council has worked diligently with our local food system partners to help grow the region’s access to high-quality food products, connect you and your family to regional farmers and producers, preserve our agricultural heritage, and foster economic opportunities. ARCD is thrilled to announce the return of our locally loved farm-to-table dinner, Appalachian Fusion. This event is comprised of a family style farm to table dinner, live music, a silent auction, and new this year: a raffle! Tickets for both the Proofs and Provisions Raffle and the Farm to Table Dinner are on sale now.
Appalachian Fusion is the Appalachian Resource Conservation and Development Council’s most important annual fundraiser. Through this farm to table dinner, the ARCD raises funds to support our important work.
This year, Appalachian Fusion will feature a Mediterranean inspired meal made from locally raised or grown goods. The menu is being created by locally adored Chef Sheridan Nice, former owner of Mona Lisa’s and current Culinary Director at Serenity Knoll Farm & Cooking School.
Live music will delight your ears while you dine, and the silent auction and Proofs & Provisions Raffle will provide more opportunity for you to support local agriculture and conservation efforts.
