Appalachian Appetite is a groundbreaking, influential cookbook featuring over 100 recipes that represent an innovative take on tradition, with contributions and stories from this mountain region’s best chefs, restaurants, and citizens. From Asheville, NC to Nashville, TN; Oxford, MS to Millinocket, ME, when asked which cuisine most typifies America, chefs are bound to tell you it stems from the South, the heartbeat of which is Appalachia.

Based in northern Colorado, Instafarm was started by a group of entrepreneurs who also happen to be health enthusiasts. We believe that growing in soil is the best way to produce our food, since most food naturally grows that way. This belief set us out on a journey to discover the best way to automate soil based growing. After several years of R&D on automating soil based growing, we launched Instafarm to bring our countertop farm to market. Instafarm now has customers all around the United States and is preparing to expand internationally.
