Ask Leah! The Ingles Dietitian

Sponsored: Check out "Taste of Local" events

ingles dietitianQUESTION: A friend told me about your “Taste of Local” events but I have never gone to one. What are they and when is the next one? 

ANSWER: Our “Taste of Local” events are a way for our customers to meet some of our local farmers and vendors.

At least once a month we bring a dozen or more local farmers and vendors into one of our stores and have them set up inside the store so you can talk to them and ask them questions about their farm, how and where their products are made and the ingredients… and of course you get to sample! 

It’s a little like going to a tailgate market inside a supermarket!

Some of the farmers and vendors you might meet include: Sunburst Trout (Canton), Carolina Pig Polish (Whittier), Brasstown Beef (Brasstown), Annie’s Breads (Asheville). 

Our upcoming “Taste of Locals”:

• Thursday, March 19th at Ingles in Arden on Long Shoals Road – 3:30-6pm

Related Items

• Thursday, April 2nd at Ingles in Asheville (Skyland) on Hendersonville Road – 3:30-6pm

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.
