We buy from local businesses because what they sell is fresher, travels less and contributes to the health of the planet. Ultimately, it means we can serve fresher, more delicious food for you.<\/p>\n<p>At least once a week, we venture out to the local farms to hand select ingredients. Why? Because farmers are the heart of FRESH\u2019s food source: they produce products that are often organic, richer in nutrients and tastier on your plate. Carefully choosing our ingredients has always been one of our favorite parts of cooking.<\/p>\n<p>By eating food that\u2019s produced locally, you\u2019re doing more than just supporting FRESH and local businesses. Collectively we are saving energy by reducing long transport. We are reducing our carbon footprint. We\u2019re energizing our local economy. And more importantly, you\u2019re eating food that\u2019s at its peak of freshness. So for those who wonder why we take the time to ride out to the farms, we smile and ask you to taste the difference. We encourage you to ask us about our local producers \u2013 and get to know them for yourself.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1506532404479{padding-left: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Our Neighborhood Farmers:<\/h2>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foothillsfamilyfarms.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foothills Family Farms<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brwm.org\/bmfmarket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Black Mountain Farmer&#8217;s Market\u00a0<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/mountainfoodproducts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mountain Food Products<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Local Creameries:<\/h2>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashevillecheese.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Looking Glass Creamery<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roundmountaincreamery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Round Mountain Creamery <\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Local Brews:<\/h2>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/highlandbrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Highland Brewery<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pisgahbrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pisgah Brewery<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/catawbabrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Catawba Valley Brewery<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Locally Roasted Coffee:<\/h2>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynamiteroasting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dynamite Roasting Company<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Other:<\/h2>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/asapconnections.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project\u00a0<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Our Photographers:<\/h2>\n<h4>Amanda Prossick<\/h4>\n<h4>Black Madden<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1506532397945{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Fresh Friends&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Droid%20Serif%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text]Local farmers and producers are the key to the food we serve at Fresh Wood Fired Pizza and Pasta.
