Vivian Howard released the following on her Facebook Page:

After 16 years of @chefandthefarmer, it is time to renovate and re-envision what we do. We’ll be closed this summer to work on a refreshed concept, one that suits Eastern North Carolina in 2022. With any luck, we’ll open our doors late fall. In the meantime, we’ll launch a new business, which I can’t wait to tell you about… but not quite yet. Thank you for 16 years of loving this era of @chefandthefarmer so fiercely.
