A locally produced summer brunch will be provided by the Jackson County Farmers Market at 11 a.m. on June 26. A tour of three Cullowhee farms will follow the brunch.

The farms available for touring are: Full Spectrum Farms, a 34-acre farm on a mission to serve adults on the autism spectrum; Avant Garden Farm and Venue, a small farm focused on sustainability; and Registered Nursery, a Caney Fork flower garden with select perennials, herbs and lilac bushes.

Ticket prices for the brunch include a buffet prepared by professional chef Chris Dole, beverages, tax, gratuity and farm tour for $40. Tickets are sold at the farmers market or online. Tickets are also available for the farm tour portion only for $10 per car. Proceeds benefit the farmer’s market.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
