Farmers & Friends

Our cooking begins with the people who grow, mill, raise, and craft the ingredients we rely on. East Tennessee’s farms and artisans define the foodways of our region, and our relationships with them guide our menu from season to season. Many of the flavors on our table come from producers we have known for years, whose work reflects the land, weather, and traditions of Appalachia.

Our restaurant has also been shaped by craftspeople, designers, and makers whose work remains part of the character of J.C. Holdway. Because our menu changes daily, not every producer is represented on every menu. We are grateful for the skill, partnership, and lasting contributions of all the farmers and friends listed here.
