FROM THE FOUNDER

Welcome Fall & Winter.

"There is a distinct moment when summer's light-hearted abundance gives way to the deeper, more introspective mood of autumn cooking. It is a time for fires, for bubbling pots, and for food that wraps its arms around you." — Nigel Slater

As the days grow shorter, Jill's kitchen turns toward slow braises, roasted roots and the warm spices of the holidays. The garden that gave us spring's first sugar snap peas now offers its sturdier, cool-weather harvest.

This is the season we gather around the table most. From Thanksgiving dinners to holiday parties, we bring that warmth to your home, your office or your favorite Charlotte venue.

SUSTAINABILITY

Compost. Recycle. Reuse.

Environmentally inspired is the first thing we say about ourselves, because it shapes what we buy, how we cook, and what leaves the building afterward.

 

Our flowers come from our own garden. Our honey comes from our own hives. Our leftovers go to neighbors who need them.
