Chow Chow

As a 501(c)3 educational non-profit, the mission of Chow Chow Asheville is to celebrate and enrich the unique foodways of the Southern Appalachian region. As makers, chefs, artists, farmers and business owners, our vision is an equitable and thriving regional food system, where culinary and creative enterprise are central to community identity and resilience. We welcome the collective sum of differences, life experiences, knowledge, self-expression, and talent our makers and guests bring to Chow Chow.

Chow Chow is committed to being accountable to our community and creating events that truly reflect the stories of our region’s food and amplify the voices of the many people that make our community unique. Please to reach out to us at community@chowchowasheville.com with constructive commentary, your ideas for event concepts, or your recommendations for the future of Chow Chow in our community.
