About Our Collaborators:

Winestore:

The winestore. concept was developed over 19 years ago with the goal being to create a wine store that was friendly to everyone. They looked at how they could brighten up the stores, make them easy to walk through, and allow people to even taste the wines before they bought them.

The winestore. believes to its core that you shouldn’t have to spend thirty or fifty dollars to get a really good bottle of wine. The Winestore stands by the everyday guarantee: everything sold will be priced at the lowest retail prices in North Carolina and Georgia and on many things the lowest price in the United States. Also, it prides itself on listening to the people who walk in our doors, finding out what they like, and bringing it to them at the best possible price.

Matt Lippard of Winestore. Dunwoody will join us to share insights on the evening’s wine pairings. With more than 15 years of experience owning and operating restaurants and a lifelong passion for supporting local farmers, Matt transitioned into wine retail during the pandemic. Today, he brings that same dedication to quality and community to Winestore. Dunwoody.

Kendall Rae Johnson

Kendall Rae Johnson is making history as the youngest certified farmer in the United States. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Kendall Rae’s passion for agriculture began at the age of three, sparked by the wisdom of her late great-grandmother, Laura “Kate” Williams, who lovingly encouraged her to “put collard greens back in the dirt.”

What started as a few collard green roots on her family’s patio porch garden has blossomed into a full-fledged urban farming movement. Today, Kendall cultivates a thriving garden filled with cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and her signature collard greens, inspiring thousands of young people to connect with the land, grow their own food, and see farming as a pathway to entrepreneurship and sustainability.

As the founder of Kendall Rae’s Green Heart Corporation, she has empowered over 400 students and nurtured 54+ youth entrepreneurs through hands-on agricultural education, sustainability programs, and business mentorship.
