More than 300 guests came out in support of the third annual Farm to Fork held Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Mill Spring Ag Center, made possible by more than 30 dedicated volunteers.
Music from local talent  “Trinity: Life, Love, Music” serenaded visitors as they arrived by tractor pulled hayrides and made their way to beverage areas for wine from Overmountain Vineyards and teas made with local herb simple syrups. To kick off the event, Homeward Angels had children participate in the release of doves.  Appetizers such as the PolkFresh Bruschetta, which had been featured that morning on WLOS ABC 13, tempted palates with “seven farms ingredients in two bites.” As they enjoyed their appetizers, guests meandered through silent auction areas, ventured indoors to check out the ag center’s latest projects and mingled with friends and neighbors.
