MENU | May Gathering at Matchstic

May 2013 Homespun ATLFarmers Markets are in full swing by May, and we took full advantage by traveling around Atlanta to source the meal. We shared with our guests where the fresh produce came from and challenged everyone to shop local and taste the difference.  We desire authenticity in life through relationships, work and service.  The same standard can, and should, be set for our food. Here's a look of the evening focusing on the meal. For the full recap, please visit Pilgrim Creative. Enjoy!

NOVEMBER GATHERING FILM

Last month we hosted a Harvest Dinner at Matchstic Branding. We gathered around the table to share life, and it's blessings over a wholesome meal.

We had the guys of Los Filmmakers film a behind-the-scenes look at the evening. You can see their eye for detail...and we love how they captured the table through a time-lapse. They are truly talented in their craft. Juan + Christian: thank you for delivering such quality!

Homespun ATL is not just an opportunity to dine but rather to break bread and share life. Come and be inspired. The next gathering is Sunday, December 9.
