With roots in North Carolina and a culinary approach based in an age-old craft, founder Gwendolyn Dare Hageman has reimagined a beloved food and made it, well, better.
Using a well-loved culture (fermentation rules!) and a cashew base, Gwendolyn and her dedicated team make brie, gouda, melty mozzarella and cream cheese with science, craft, and a dash of culinary wizardry.
Darë Vegan Cheese is small-batch and handmade, focusing on a small list of whole ingredients for plant-based cheese that tastes just like cheese. We like to think our thoughtful process creates an irresistible product that lives up to the hype. And we’ll bet you do too.

Savor Shrub
Hi! I'm Kat, and this is my business.
I make concentrated mixers in an homage to both herbal and European traditions of bitters.
I’ve been mixing "potions" in my backyard and fermenting them since I could walk. As a kid, I was constantly in the kitchen... baking, experimenting, and blending flavors. These days, I just think of it as "kitchen witchen."
I grew up hiking in the mountains and am from the Western NC region... Thus I have a deep passion for seeing our beautiful mountains get cared for and treasured.
Native plants are a special favorite- identifying, sustainable foraging, growing and processing. I began working with herbs through an elder mentor in my late teens, and followed that up with a Bachelors of Science in Natural Health. I was a clinical herbalist for many years, also co-owning and teaching at a respected herb school here in WNC and all over the southeast.
Herbalism and plants have been a constant in my life for the past 20 years.
Well Seasoned Table
We are located in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. We have a small farm where we organically grow (not certified) the food that we eat, as well as some of the herbs and spices that go into our products. Our products are lovingly created by Sarah Wickers, owner of Well Seasoned Table. Each and every one is handcrafted to bring out the extraordinary in all that you cook or bake. We are foodies at heart. Which means that we are constantly creating new culinary treats with our handcrafted products.
Hickory Nut Gap Farm
So Delicious. So Healthy.
Our animals graze freely on lush grasses, root for grubs and seeds in the soil, and peck and scratch as nature intended. These activities lead to strong bodies, lots of blood flow, and healthy joints, which means superior aroma and flavor in our meat products. Grassfed meat is naturally lean and is high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid, antioxidants, and beneficial vitamins.
Humanely-Pasture-Raised.
We believe that allowing our animals to express their natural tendencies fosters a full circle of well-being, not only for the livestock, but also for the soil, our farmers, and our customers. This is why our animals roam freely on pastures that provide space for them to feed, forage, root, and play. We practice low stress handling throughout the animal life cycle and strive to maintain abundance and diversity in the farm ecosystem, which allows each animal to thrive.
Miso Master
Miso Master® Organic Miso is made using ancient methods perfected in Japan hundreds of years ago. Our first Miso Masters lived, studied, and worked for one year in rural Japan with one of the few remaining families still using the ancient way of miso-making.
We still use those methods today and that means hand-crafted koji (the culturing agent), and natural aging at ambient temperatures without artificial temperature control.
The resulting miso is a delicious and versatile live, unpasteurized food, full of enzymes that aid digestions and assimilation, living lactobacillus cultures, isoflavones, and antioxidants. Certified Organic, Kosher, & Gluten-Free as well as Non-GMO Verified.

Rayburn Farm
Soil Shine Farm & Ferments
Soil Shine Farm & Ferments
Rayburn Farms story began at North Carolina A & T State University where Lauren and Michael first meet. Lauren was studying Environmental Science and Michael Environmental Horticulture.
Long story short... they graduated, moved around, made good careers in DC, had a baby and said "bump this s**t". Michael had always wanted to try his hands at farming, and Lauren was a saint for allowing him to try (and he never forgets that!).
They were lucky to find an amazing property located at the base of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Barnardsville NC, and they made it their home. The big question lay before them: "What do we grow?"
After trying lots of different crops, they began stumbling over a trend in the local brewery scene in Asheville. A lot of brewers were playing around with different herbs in their beers -- and before they knew it, Rayburn Farms became the Brewers' Farm, growing everything from pumpkins to 6 different flavors of basil to ginger and mints. Today, Rayburn Farms is still growing for many breweries in Western NC, and they've also added some tea companies, ice cream makers, and craft soda producers.
In 2021 They began experimenting with making some new products that they could add to the website. After many tests they landed on Infused Sugars and Hot Cocoa mixes.
Michael and Lauren will be the first to tell you how blessed they are to be able to follow their dreams and that's why they feel it's important to give back and to share with the communities that have supported them.

Old Spade Pottery
All the pottery I make is 100% handmade. Every pot is thrown on the wheel and trimmed by hand, all handles are hand-pulled. I recycle & wedge all my clay by hand (a labor intensive process in order to prepare the clay for throwing)—no pug mills or other complex machinery. I mix all of my own glazes.
This work is all made here in Burnsville, NC in our modest home studio, which does take some delicate maneuvering through at times and thoughtful consideration of space & process.
The aim of my work is to add a quality of vitality, and to invite the feeling of ritual within the everyday rhythms of life, particularly surrounding the activities common to all people. Among all the different kinds of pieces that I make, I probably enjoy seeing people use the small jars the most. You can tell a lot about a person by what they put in their tiny jar!
