Connecting People to Healthy Eating isn’t just our motto—it’s our mission. In a region where fried vegetables, BBQ, and “meat & three” plates are the staple, Harvest Kitchen was created to offer something different: a fresh, clean-eating alternative that nourishes both body and spirit.

​

We opened our doors in July 2021 after realizing just how limited healthy dining options were in our community. During the pandemic, our family shifted toward a cleaner lifestyle to support our immune systems—an especially important change for our son, who has Type 1 diabetes. Cooking at home worked beautifully, but dining out was another story. Everywhere we turned, the options were heavy, fried, or processed.

​

That’s when inspiration struck. My daughter (now the chef of Harvest Kitchen) began making her own dressings, marinades, and sauces for our salads and grain bowls. Each meal became a celebration, and more than once we found ourselves saying: “Dang girl, this is fantastic—you need to open a restaurant!”

​

As a lifelong entrepreneur, I’ve always believed: “Don’t wait for an opportunity—create it.” And so, with the right pieces falling into place, Harvest Kitchen was born—a place where clean eating could thrive in the heart of the South.

​

Because I’ve lived with Celiac disease for nearly two decades, it was non-negotiable that our kitchen be 100% gluten free. For the first time in my life, I can walk into a restaurant and know that everything on the menu is safe to enjoy—and I wanted to give that same peace of mind to others. Beyond gluten, we are also mostly dairy-free and take food allergies very seriously, ensuring that everyone who dines with us can feel safe and cared for.

​

Today, Harvest Kitchen is more than just a restaurant—it’s a movement toward healthier living. We believe that fresh, minimally processed, allergy-friendly food should be delicious, accessible, and made with love. From vibrant grain bowls to chef-crafted salads and sauces, every dish is designed to fuel your body and uplift your day.
