Volunteering at Urban Roots Farm

We always try to use our Austin famers for ingredients but it is just as much fun to go out and pick our own ingredients! Always a great day at Urban Roots Farm!

There is nothing quite like a cheeseburger on the Austin skyline. We went and gave this a go even though we had never cooked on a rooftop before!

Taco Party for 85 at the Ashton

This was THE FIRST event that Gather and Forge did. We ended up CRUSHING it and it was the least paying job to date.. Just goes to show you that we can always make it work! Especially with our backs against the wall!

Christmas Party for 60

At the time this was the largest private dinner party that Gather and Forge had done. It was literally on this day that we knew the idea itself could actually work here in Austin.

Halloween Party for 40

In order to get our feet wet in Austin, we had to do things that were not necessarily great for the business. We had to do everything that we could think of in order for us to try to get our name out! We decided to take this on and it ended allowing us to boom!
