Our guide\, Apple Valley Club member and Symphony Guild member Maurice Stone\, will discuss Dvorak’s fascination with trains and how it influenced his music.

SUMMARY:*CANCELED* All Fired Up!  Gourmet Food Prepared Over an Open Fire
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a delicious outdoor “Farm to Table” dinner prepared over an open fire by an internationally trained chef at The Farmer’s Hands Homestead. Chef Sebastian Zijp will prepare a gourmet dinner for us on his two-acre farm in Mars Hill\, just 20 minutes from downtown Asheville. \nSebastian and his wife\, Ariel\, will welcome us to their 150-year-old farmstead where nearly 100 percent of the food served at his Farm to Table dinners is sourced.  Have a glass of wine or beer while you stroll around the farm\, mingle with fellow guests and watch Sebastian cook. Bluegrass musicians will add to the ambience at this lovely  \nsetting.  Dinner will be served family style on long wooden tables under an arbor festooned with high-hanging Edison bulbs. \nSebastian and Ariel pride themselves on following sustainable and organic practices while learning from the land.  They try to grow all their own food and also support other local farmers. In addition to the dinners\, Sebastian offers cooking classes on various topics: making pasta\, cooking over a fire\, and dishes from other cultures such as Spanish\, Thai and Vietnamese. Their suppers and classes are frequently sold out\, so take this opportunity to enjoy a “Farm to Table” experience at its best.  All guests will receive a menu that includes Sebastian’s recipes to try at home.

SUMMARY:Bonsai Garden Walk and Talk
DESCRIPTION:This Feast features a spectacular Bonsai Garden tour and talk with Bonsai expert Daniel Coffey. The tour will take place at the beautiful Reynolds Mountain home of Lori and Bob Herlin where Lori has designed the most extensive\, exquisitely nuanced miniature Bonsai garden in Asheville.  Daniel Coffey\, Asheville’s own Bonsai expert\, will give you pointers about the care and propagation of various styles of Bonsai using Lori’s beautiful Bonsai collection. Along with the Bonsai\, you can take in the gorgeous long views of the Grove Park Inn\, Beaver Lake\, and the Blue Ridge mountains. \nA white wine punch and delectable treats will be served. An optional choice but equally fascinating will be to follow a tour along Lori’s “enchanted forest” trail that winds through their back woods. It’s not long but it is hilly\, so wear comfortable shoes. Lori spent years developing these trails before Bonsai captured her passion. \nThis event will follow safe distancing and is primarily an outdoor event. Masks will be required. Each segment will host just 10 guests who will rotate through each tour and talk. \nNOTE:  This home is accessed by a steep driveway.  The optional walk in the woods is also hilly. Please wear comfortable shoes. \nDirections to the residence will be provided once reservations are complete. \nFor this first Feast of the season in our upside-down world\, we will be accepting donations through the website reservation/checkout process or at the door in lieu of purchasing tickets.  The original cost was $65.00 per person.

SUMMARY:A Walk on the Wild Side
DESCRIPTION:Join us for one of the best hikes in North Carolina’s Pisgah Forest! A gentle\, mostly level loop trail of 3 miles will introduce you to the wonders of rare mountain bogs\, beautiful mature forest canopies\, and fern-filled woods. We may even see a touch of fall color! Our knowledgeable tour guide\, George Luther\, was a National Park Ranger for 11 years in the most visited U. S. National Parks. He will explain how beaver dams along the South Fork Mills River created these unusual mountain bogs with distinct plants and wildlife. George and Edith Vanderbilt created their “Cradle of Forestry” school here\, which is now a heritage site. It was the first to introduce modern forestry management techniques in the country. We will learn the history of how the Vanderbilt family of Biltmore House in Asheville helped create the Pisgah National Forest\, one of the nation’s best outdoor recreation playgrounds. \nThis area is also known as the “pink beds\,” because of the dense rhododendron and mountain laurel thickets that bloom every spring. Some thickets still remain in this beautiful\, shade forest. \nWe will start off early (8:30 – 9:00 am) at the picnic area with a light snack of juice and pastries. Water will be provided for all hikers during our leisurely walk. \nAfter the hike\, we will enjoy a delicious lunch of salads\, cold cuts\, cheeses\, fruit\, dessert\, beverages\, wine and beer at our covered\, private picnic shelter. There are full-service restrooms there. Special treat: Ben Warner\, a Guild member\, will provide musical selections on his 7-string classical guitar. \nThis event covers the best of the peaceful\, natural world with fascinating history and the company of other music lovers!
