Fundraiser Supporting Feast Down East

Join Freya’s Flor-A-Cause on April 5th at Freya’s Haus in Wilmington, NC, to support Feast Down East’s mission of strengthening local farming and food access.

Welcome the warmth of spring with Freya’s Flor-A-Cause, a special fundraiser hosted by Freya’s Haus Beer Garden & Café on Saturday, April 5, from 12 PM to 4 PM. This lively event supports the impactful work of Feast Down East, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening local farming systems and improving food accessibility in Southeastern North Carolina.

A portion of the event’s proceeds will directly benefit Feast Down East (FDE), thanks to the generous sponsorship of Danielle Puleo | Broker/Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway. FDE’s mission focuses on connecting regional farmers with communities to provide fresh, healthy, and locally sourced food, while also offering vital support to small-scale farmers through sales, distribution, and technical assistance via their Food Hub in Burgaw, NC.

Attendees can look forward to indulging in a signature seasonal cocktail crafted with fresh, local ingredients sourced through the FDE Food Hub. This refreshing drink will be the perfect companion after a visit to the nearby Poplar Grove Herb & Garden Festival, where you can shop for vibrant spring plants and flowers.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Freya’s Haus and Danielle Puleo for the Flor-A-Cause fundraiser,” said Jordyn Appel-Hughes, Executive Director of Feast Down East. “This event not only celebrates the beauty of spring but also highlights our commitment to strengthening local food systems. Together, we can raise awareness about supporting local farmers and improving food accessibility for all.”
