Shipley Farms will be hosting their inaugural event “Good Fields” – an Appalachian Food and Farms Festival on June 24th on the farm. Good Fields aims to help bring attention and support to the rich food and farming culture in the High Country, and help sustain local farms in the face of development and other pressure in the area. Good Fields will feature twelve of North Carolina’s finest chefs creating dishes that honor the region’s culinary heritage and farming history, with a focus on the 150th anniversary of Shipley Farms. Guests will enjoy sampling locally sourced foods and beverages, meeting chefs and farmers, listening to live music, and admiring the historic Shipley Farm’s beauty.
