Trial to Table
Food from our farm trials shared via the talented hands of local chefs
Utopian Seed Project Culinary Events
The Utopian Seed Project grows a wide range of crops and varieties with the aim of increasing agrobiodiversity into the food and farming system. We host food focused events and partner with incredible local chefs to showcase the crops we’re working with.Â
Our food events cover everything from simple variety tastings, to crop specific pop-ups, to our signature trial to table events, and larger sit-down ‘farm to table style’ dinners.
2023 Event Schedule
Trial to Table – Fall Celebration 2023
Oct 28, 1:30 – 4:00 PM | The Boathouse, Smoky Park Supper Club, Asheville NC
Ticket price includes two small plates from each chef (8 plates total), and drinks are inclusive. We’ll also be running a Utopian Seed Project tasting table to show off some of these ingredients in their pure form. PLUS Kudzu Culture will be serving a Hot Kuzuyu Cocoa! A note on pricing transparency: we want these events to be as accessible as possible and so have a flexible pricing policy, if you’re able to pay more than $50 then great, if you can’t then that’s great to.
