"How good and beautiful is it to come together. So let's do it. Let's roll up our sleeves and plant seeds that reap the best kind of fruit: authentic connection and wellbeing."
-Antoinette Valdespino, Owner, AV & Company
The Gathering is a culmination of a community's best: the freshest produce from local family farms, quality finds from curated, ethical vendors, educational, family-friendly activities, and much more. We are a lifestyle destination for those who want to live intentionally and connect with their unique community (and have a great time while doing so). In a world of distraction and social isolation, The Gathering is a place of purpose and inclusivity on a mission to support farmers, families, and local economies.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead
We can't change the trajectory of health and wellness for people without immersing ourselves in their communities. The Gathering invites all to nurture their bodies, minds, and spirits in the comfort of their communal backyard.
Our goal is to make a true impact in the communities we serve through our ecosystem of local farmers, musicians, eateries, artisans, and community leaders.

Smashed Peach and Poblano Grilled Cheese
Ingredients:
-
2 peaches, halved
-
1/2 teaspoon ground ancho chile pepper (optional)
-
4 slices sourdough bread
-
3 ounces sliced sharp white Cheddar cheese
-
1 large poblano pepper, roasted and cut into strips
-
4 slices crisp-cooked bacon
-
2 tablespoons butter, softened
How to make:
-
Sprinkle cut sides of peach halves with ground chile (if using). Using a potato masher, a flat-bottom heavy skillet, or the flat side of a meat mallet, gently smash peach halves to 1/2-inch thickness.
-
Top two bread slices with cheddar cheese. Layer two peach halves, half of the poblano strips, and two slices bacon on top of the cheese. Top with remaining bread slices. Butter both sides of each sandwich.
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook, turning halfway through, until bread is toasted and cheese melts, 4 to 6 minutes.
