Click here to read the Huffington Post story. That’s pretty cool. And it’s quite a nod to the work that a variety of local organizations have done to raise Asheville’s food profile. It’s a credit to our local restaurants and chefs, non-profits such as the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project and the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and its aggressive marketing.

From HuffPo:

Dubbed the Foodtopian Society, Asheville boasts an incredible array of locavore cuisine at its 135 restaurants, 17 farmers markets, 7 microbreweries and 11 annual food festivals.

Best Green Eats:
Fig Bistro is celebrated for its green menu made of local ingredients from nearby farms.
