Dare Vegan Cheese
Dare Vegan Cheese
Dare Vegan Cheese
Darë Vegan Cheese (pronounced “Dairy”) is a dairy-free cheese company with feet planted squarely in the cheesemaking tradition. Sans the animal products, of course. 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.

By The Brook Ferments
Our tempeh is made with regionally-sourced, non-GMO beans, fermented by Rhizopus oligosporus (a mushroom culture) to form a nutrient-dense protein packed with flavor and a bold texture.
The flavor and texture of By The Brook Tempeh is completely unlike that of commercial tempeh (which is typically made from pasteurized soybeans, highly processed, and shipped hundreds to thousands of miles).
We make our tempeh fresh from various legumes and grains, which are inoculated with a high quality spore, resulting in a highly digestible, nutritious option for your personal health. We stand behind community health, too, sourcing regional ingredients and distributing exclusively to our local community.
Savor Shrub
Hickory Nut Gap Farm
Well Seasoned Table
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.

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.

We are foodies at heart. Which means that we are constantly creating new culinary treats with our handcrafted products.

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
The Crunchy Baker
Hickory Nut Gap Farm
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.

Old Spade Pottery
Wadadli Dessert Oasis
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!
