Local food.
A work of art.

A rotating collective of mountain food makers, brought together by Luceo & Co. Come for a guided tasting, a beautiful plate, or the person behind your next favorite bite.

Made here. Shared here. Thoughtfully gathered.

Our founder's promise

Food people don't have to second-guess.

We ask makers to share ingredients and allergen information. Vegan-forward and allergy-conscious makers are especially welcome.

No blanket allergy guarantees. Ask about your needs before attending. Mary is your point of contact, not an anonymous inbox.

The collective

You make it.
We set the table.

Bakers, fermenters, farmers, sauce makers, and small-batch producers. All clean, local food has a seat here.

Tell us what you make ↗
01

Your craft, in the spotlight

Bring what you make. Guided tastings and plating exhibitions give guests a chance to explore your food and hear its story.

02

A gathering, not just a stall

Luceo & Co handles venue coordination, promotion, and guests for mocktail nights, pop-up suppers, and seasonal markets.

03

Rooted here, always rotating

Partner venues across Western NC keep the collective moving through the mountains. Questions about permits, sales, or venue details go directly to Mary.
