Join Epilogue for an evening celebrating Edible North Carolina, in conversation with editor Marcie Cohen Ferris, Lantern chef Andrea Reusing, and Duke University professor and anthropologist Courtney Lewis.

About the book:

Edible North Carolina documents and shares the vibrant voices and places of North Carolina’s contemporary food movement—an exciting intersection of culinary excellence, creative entrepreneurship, changing populations, historic yet evolving foodways, and a commitment to protect and sustain food resources for generations to come. Twenty new, never-before-published works will be commissioned for this signature collection written by the state and region’s best journalists, farmers, chefs, entrepreneurs, scholars, and food activists. The first volume of its kind to expansively consider the power and reach of North Carolina’s food movement, this book convincingly argues how a vital food system contributes to the economy, attracts new residents, builds tourism, supports sustainable growth, and enhances the region’s image and reputation.
