Executive Chef – Brian Crow
Chef de cuisine – Matthew Dorough
Sous Chef – Ashley Helms

Commissary Sous Chef – Noah Buchanan 

The hog is sourced from Crow Fly Farms. Here’s a snippet of who they are:

Crow Fly Farms is located in the foothills of Western North Carolina just outside the mountain town of Marion. A love for animals, concern for the environment, and an affinity for great food started us down the path that got us here today. Through trainings with the Savory Institute, we were able to learn the skills necessary to manage holistically. This allows us to ensure that the entirety of our farm is benefitting and regenerating from the day-to-day decisions that we make. The heart of our farm and the regeneration that is happening is our animals. They are what makes this whole system work. We are focused on using heritage breeds that operate well within our context. We raise Red Wattle hogs because they produce an excellent tasting well marbled meat but most importantly, they excel outdoors in pasture and forest. Our pigs are fed an entirely Soy-Free Organic feed, produced right here in NC by Reedy Fork Farms. They supplement their diet with acorns, grubs, grass, bugs, and whatever else they can root up. Their days are spent roaming under the canopy of our hardwood forest and most importantly being pigs.

Cost is $190 per person to include food, alcohol, 7% Tax and 20% gratuity.
