Summer’s finally here, and we marked the celebration of nature’s abundance, renewal, and the promise of a fruitful season with a house party with a ton of our friends yesterday afternoon at our dearest Nesta’s place. Our Kevin played in one of our favorite local bands, Lucille Klement—all wonderful friends and musicians were so lucky to know and adore. Our new friends, Emma & David, made the most sensational curry—we def had seconds! Our loveliest bestie, Ivie, was slingin’ juice for the Animal Shelter—you gotta give back when you can! Our sweetie pie, Hank, was checking IDs and keepin’ everybody in line—keepin’ everybody safe at a big event is hard work!

Local music, people from here and afar, coming together with a little word of mouth and like-mindedness. I’m always proud to be from here, but witnessing this underground natural movement of good people doing good community work brewing has me fired up! Getting away from the corporate grind, finding someone local to meet most any of your needs, and recycling revenue and resources within the community is essential for survival in this greedy world that puts profits over people everyday. Folks are really out here carving a new old way!

Things are moving so fast in the right direction for us at Groovy’s, but I still feel like so many people don’t know we exist. Next time you grab a bowl, add a pic to your story and tag some people you know have never been. If you’re small and need a little boost, shoot us a message and we’ll post you a shoutout—we gotta keep the spirit of community alive by actively helping each other succeed!

We’re heading into year three of Groovy’s, and Main Street is right around the corner. We are so looking forward to fostering a community hub that’s affordable, inclusive, supports artists, supports farmers, and promotes all things local in a welcoming space for you and your friends and families to hang out at.

Call a pal and come eat this week! We love and appreciate ya more than you know! ✌️💟🥸

Happy Father’s Day to all you fine papas, and our namesake, Groovy Grover Giles!

I don’t have many pictures of us together. I love these two in particular because they capture his essence so keenly.

The top was a holiday, reflected by Mama’s china he’s eating off of. I’m guessing this was Easter because the only time we used the china was Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Coffee all day, also with supper.

Deviled eggs with olives on top, precisely how I serve ‘em today.

A mess of fresh collard greens, and Ma Brown’s yeast rolls.

No hats at the table, shirts optional.

I love how we have the same nose and eyes, and I love his little grip on his favorite gal going to prom for the first time.

I’ve been in a lot of gardens already this year. I think about how much he loved the soil. How proud he was to own a home in Keystone, a piece of land to grow his own food on.

Warm tomatoes off the vine, Duke’s mayo, white bread, salt and pepper—the true start of summer, writing this on another gifted Summer Solstice today.

I feel so fortunate to be raised in our Appalachian mountains with these old country practices that still shape the way I move today. I want my life and my businesses to reflect down home ways and means, and to continue to build real, honest, lasting relationships with each of you. I watched Grover be an exceptional friend and neighbor many times, and I feel so lucky that good man raised me.

Come see us this week, and drop a feel good story about a sweet father figure in your life if you feel so inclined. ✌️💟🥸

One of our favorite places on earth to be besides Groovy’s is with our dear friend Ed and company at The Down Home!

Celebrating 50 years of iconic performance from some of the best musicians to ever play.

Check out their calendar and catch a show!

Support local food and music!

Congratulations to our friend, Ed Snoderly, and all the fine folks at The Down Home on their 50th anniversary!

Some of the best music and shows we have ever experienced have taken place in the Down Home’s one of a kind, eclectic listening room.

What an incredible accomplishment!

Our building is about to get a massive makeover in anticipation of Main Street Pizza’s upcoming arrival. This section is so special because it’s from the Appalachian Holler Help fundraiser where you all donated SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in just a few hours when our neighbors fell on umprecented hard times. Artist came through and painted with a buncha little kids, and it was a sweet core memory. We’ll have a framed picture hanging in the space to always remember how strong we are when we unite. Maybe do some prints. We are SO EXCITED to bring new life to W. Walnut St. and appreciate all the encouragement! Just a lil bit longer and it’s on!!✌️💟🥸

Come on by for BOGO 1/2 OFF all bowls all day today!

Had a heartfelt visit with dear friend and local chef, Sheridan Nice, yesterday. We talked kitchen life, the importance of community and supporting local farmers, and how women should champion each other every chance we get! She cooked me an elegantly simple lunch with all things from her wondrous garden. She had me bring some of our Groovy tofu to wrap in these GIANT basil leaves with a Vietnamese pork that was just perfect. Think lettuce wraps, but basil leaves—genius!

She is renowned for leading immersive cooking classes at Serenity Knoll Farm and ETSU, bringing global techniques to local kitchens.
