A ramp dinner is a traditional Appalachian meal that celebrates ramps, a type of wild onion with a strong, garlicky flavor that grows in the eastern United States in early spring. These dinners are typically held in small towns and communities, often as fundraising events or social gatherings. Our ramps are even harvested from right here in our own park! At a ramp dinner, you'll find dishes featuring ramps as the star ingredient, along with other classic Appalachian comfort foods. Common menu items include: Fried potatoes/eggs with rampsSoup beansHamChicken and noodlesBiscuits and gravyCornbread or homemade breadDeviled eggs and pickled eggsSalads and applesauceCakes and other homemade dessertsBecause ramps are only available for a short time each year, ramp dinners are a highly anticipated spring tradition in many Appalachian communities! Which is why it is so popular. We look forward to serving guests from far and wide. This is one of the easiest and fun volunteering opportunities around!
