SPOTLIGHT:

Farm To Flame
If you are venturing from Atlanta or
anywhere in the Southeast this fall to
the Blue Ridge Mountains to see the
glorious leaves changing from green
to yellow to orange to red, a muststop is the Farm To Flame food truck.
It travels around but most often is at
the Appalachian Mountain Brewery
and Watauga County Farmers Market
on Saturday mornings. Originally
started as a nonprofit focusing on
local farmers, Farm To Flame features
a new local farmer each month and
collaborates on a menu item that uses
only local ingredients from the farm.
Selected farmers are able to market
themselves all month on the truck,

The amber beer-infused crust of Farm
To Flame’s breakfast pizza is thin,
crunchy and perfectly cooked in the
wood fired-oven. It is the epitome of
farm-to-fork. The guys shop the freshest ingredients each morning at the
farmers market like fresh eggs, organic
ground sausage, kale, red onion, peppers, goat cheese and fresh herbs. I
was a little skeptical about a breakfast
pizza, but it was absolutely delicious.
The light drizzle of maple syrup and
hot sauce pushed it right over the top!
Of course their other pizzas like the
Veg Out, Italian and Buffalo Soldier
are just as good—especially with a
cold draft beer from the Appalachian
Mountain Brewery. n
