Our Story

A Love for Family, Food & Bringing People Together

For years, creating charcuterie boards for my family during the holidays has been one of my favorite traditions. There's something special about watching everyone gather around, sharing delicious bites, exchanging stories, laughing, and simply enjoying each other's company.

As I approach a new chapter in life, I began thinking about what was next for me. I knew I wanted to create something of my own—something that would allow me to pursue a passion while maintaining the flexibility to travel, support my children in their athletic journeys, and continue being present for the moments that matter most.

And that's how The Gathering Cart came to life.

What began as a family holiday tradition has grown into a vision of creating beautiful, interactive charcuterie experiences that encourage people to slow down, connect, and celebrate life's special moments.

Thank you for being part of this exciting new chapter. I can't wait to bring The Gathering Cart to your next celebration!

With gratitude,
