Asheville Twestival would like to thank Sweet Life Bakeshop for donating a spectacular Fruit Torte for our cakewalk. Not only does the torte taste like it was made in a heavenly oven (one of the organizers tried a piece!) it was made with ingredients from Saturday’s Farmer’s Market. The dessert has Italian plums, blackberries and peaches from family-owned McConnell Farms in Hendersonville, NC.
Sweet Life Bakeshop pastries are sold only at the Asheville City Market. This provides owner, Cynthia Pierce, with the perfect opportunity to meet and interact directly with local farmers and discerning customers who share her passion for seasonal and high quality produce and ingredients.
The baked goods she offers change on a weekly basis, depending on which local fruits, vegetables and artisanal products (cheese, honey, etc.) have tempted her the most. On any give week you might find gresh vegetable pies, herb shortbread cookies, fruit or cheese scones, muffins or tarts, or even some seasonally-inspired bread pudding!

We’re gathering all sorts of delicious local pizza toppings for tomorrow’s Twestival at Asheville Pizza on Coxe Ave. One of the latest donations is from High Farms in Landrum. They donated free-range, hormone-free chicken breasts.
About High Farms: High Farms is a family farm devoted to producing the highest quality pasture based meat possible using sustainable agricultural practices which result in food that is healthy for the land and those that enjoy the products of the land. Their meat and egg chickens are fed a 100% vegetarian, drug and chemical free, feed which is locally produced. They also consume about 20% of their diet in fresh grass from daily pasture moves. Look for more grass-fed meats coming later this year!
Thanks so much, High Farms!

In February, people from all over the world joined together for Twestival and community by community raised over $250,000 for 55 different clean drinking water projects. All of this was organized using Twitter, the social networking tool where “micro-bloggers” post “tweets” in 140 characters or less. Twestival Asheville raised three times the international average.
This weekend, cities all over the world are participating in Twestival Local and the international event promises to be even better, with the hopes of raising one million dollars in one month.
Asheville, North Carolina, known for it’s staggering natural beauty and vibrant arts community is also home to an active Twitter community that will be out in full force for Twestival Local.
On Sunday, September 13th at Asheville Pizza & Brewing at 77 Coxe Avenue from 2PM-8PM, Twestival Local Asheville will be raising money for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP), a non-profit that promotes environmentally sound, economically viable, and healthy local farming.
Asheville’s Twestival Local will include farm fresh produce, a photo booth, a pizza pie creation contest, Corn Hole contest + some incredible raffle items. In addition to a live musical cakewalk, Asheville’s own Now You See Them will be headlining the musical entertainment.
This is an event not to be missed in Western North Carolina! It will be a great place to hear some Asheville bands and network with internet savvy, influential people in the community while raising money for a good cause. So while we support buying and eating local, let’s take a day to celebrate that at a local gathering!
