We cater private events as well as food truck style events that are open to the public.
We believe in resilient, sustainable, local agriculture. We believe that food is medicine and that growing, preparing and eating it with love can change the world.
At least 80% of our ingredients are either locally sourced or organic. Our menu is seasonally inspired. We never use industrial seed oils.

Owner Simone Jaramillo created her food truck business as a reflection of her respect and love of food. She was raised in rural northern New Mexico in a family where her father taught her how to grow food as soon as she could walk and where her mother made three meals a day from scratch, often using ingredients from the family garden or local meat from their deep freeze in the shed. “My childhood kitchen was always a happening space in the home, freshly baked goods on the counter, simmering pots on the stove, a pantry full of preserved jellies, canned peaches. When I imagine the kitchen of my childhood, warm light, delicious smells and bright colors come to mind. Feeding people was what I grew up knowing how to do. It has always been one of my love languages.” The ritual of growing food, cooking, gathering people, and feeding them brings her joy. Simone’s independent spirit, creativity and artistic background made the entrepreneurial dream of her food truck business a natural evolution as she believes in her vocation being an embodiment of her heart’s expression. Her emphasis of valuing sustainability, human connection, local agriculture and community is at the heart of what her business is made of and she is excited to continue leaning deeper into these values as she continues to grow her business.
What People Are Saying
“Incredible food with the most respect and thought put into sourcing local and ethical, healthy foods that I have ever seen in Asheville! Garden fresh produce and local meat from WNC, plus they also use healthier oils and grains. I had the Tres Amigos and the homemade tortillas were fantastic. Definitely recommend and will be coming back to eat here whenever I get the chance!”

“We hired The Garden for our intimate wedding and could not have been more pleased. Simone was a delight to work with the entire time and made the most DELICIOUS food! She was especially flexible in prepping the food in our Airbnb's kitchen when realizing the road was too steep to bring her food truck. If you are looking for fresh, in season, artfully displayed food, look no further!”

“Simone and her team are absolutely incredible! Not only did they make the most BEAUTIFUL and tasty display of charcuterie and apps for our rustic mountain cocktail hour, they also brought such a positive and calming energy to our wedding day. I seriously still get compliments about the deviled eggs 2 months later.
I would recommend anyone interested in hosting an event in the Asheville area consider working with The Garden. They are thoughtful about sourcing their food locally, super communicative and easy to work with, and helped us customize our menu to make sure we got exactly the day we wanted. This might have been the best wedding planning decision we made! I seriously cannot say enough good things about Simone and her team. They just know how to make sure you feel taken care of!”

“The Garden provided some wonderful charcuterie for our wedding! It was delicious and they were very flexible with accommodating our needs for the day, including rescheduling with us after Hurricane Helene caused us to have to move our date. I would recommend The Garden's services to anyone looking for a colorful, fresh, and vibrant board for their event!”
