Jake

My name is Riley Hammond, I’m 38 years old, and I call Asheville, North Carolina home. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this place feeds my soul and my pantry in equal measure. I grew up here, in a house that always smelled like something good was about to happen—whether it was my mom’s peach cobbler cooling by the window or my grandfather smoking pork shoulders in the backyard for what he called “serious Sundays.”
