Real Good Gathering

November 21, 2024

6:00pm-9:00pm

Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum / Dogwood Building

We enjoyed a wonderful evening of delicious tastes — from some of our favorite local chefs, Real Good Kitchen members, and our Incubator Program participants — live entertainment and the debut of our video from Loch & Key.

Together we can build a more equitable food system for everyone.
