Root to Table – Where Local Flavors & Community Come Together
A vibrant community of farmers, chefs, food lovers, and storytellers across the Blue Ridge and Piedmont regions of Virginia and West Virginia who believe that where our food comes from truly matters.
Our Roots
Root to Table (formerly Taste of Blue Ridge) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit strengthening the regional food system in Virginia and West Virginia’s Blue Ridge and Piedmont regions. Through immersive farm-to-table events, chef-led experiences, and community storytelling, we connect farmers, chefs, artisans, and food lovers in support of local sourcing, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable practices.
By fostering relationships across the food chain, we help preserve farmland, celebrate culinary traditions, and build a transparent, resilient food culture rooted in connection and shared purpose.
