So, with 2017 coming to an end, we as a magazine and as a city need to keep that momentum going into the new year. That’s why the theme of this issue is to have “an inspired year.” In this issue, we share fresh persepectives in our story about The Chef’s Farmer entitled “Leaving The Kitchen Behind”, showcase art’s social impact with Greg Lindquist, and feature commitment to craft in “Puddles and Skyscrapers.” In The Exclusives, you’ll read the motivating story of Freshlist and be truly inspired by North Carolinian Jennifer Pharr Davis’ recent completion of the Mountains-to-Sea trail (our cover story). Our writers, Corey Miller and Sunny Hubler, end the issue with 2018: The How-to Guide, focused on the most important resolutions, from getting your mind right and getting cultured to exercising and eating well in the Queen City.
