Summer Stories & Good Causes

In Solidarity with Fun, Innovation, Respect & Community

This summer, Reid’s Cafe & Raw Bar is pulling up a chair for friends, farmers, makers, and everyone who believes that good food belongs at the heart of community. We’re hosting—and being hosted for—unforgettable events that celebrate everything we stand for. Read on for dates, details, and ways to join us.

June 4th
Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture Benefit Night
A percentage of all sales goes toward creating an equitable and sustainable food system right here in the high country. This is more than a meal—it’s an investment in the farmers and producers who shape our region.
June 12th
NEW Outdoor Char-Grill Debut
Our chefs fire up the brand-new char-grill to bring you NOLA-inspired Grilled Oysters. Starting at 4PM, we’re grilling into the evening with ice-cold rosé on tap. This is our newest addition, and we can’t wait to show it off. Follow us at @reidscafe_nc for additional Char-Grilled Oyster dates coming soon.
