About the event
A farm dinner around the kiln
This Outstanding in the Field dinner is set around a wood-fired kiln at the farm of East Fork Pottery co-founder John Vigeland, just outside Asheville in Alexander, NC. The format is an outdoor long-table farm dinner on an eight-acre site described as open cow pasture and gently rolling hay fields.
The setting is tied directly to East Fork Pottery: guests dine on East Fork Pottery wares selected for the table. Guests may bring their own East Fork pieces to join in, while leaving their usual plates at home so the meal showcases East Fork on its home land.
Hosts, chef, and beverage producers
John Vigeland and Alex Matisse of East Fork Pottery are the hosts. Silver Iocovozzi of Neng Jr.'s is the guest chef, with a menu described as inspired by the land, the season, and the hands that tend it.
The beverage details differ across the available event text: Ginger's Revenge appears as a guest beverage producer in one excerpt and the event description, while Mountain Valley Spring Water also appears as a guest beverage producer in another excerpt and the event description.
