Locally-crafted grazing boards are this season’s fantastic new trend

Let’s set the scene—an afternoon spent on a patio with your favorite bites all arranged in an aesthetically pleasing design that can’t be touched until you get that perfect Instagram photo. Sounds like a dream? These local companies can make your grazing board dreams come true.

But first—what’s a grazing board?

If you’re a cheese or charcuterie board fan, let me introduce you to their delicious counterpart known as a grazing board. It’s the same theory—cheese, meats, nuts, fruits. However, grazing boards offer a little more variety with a larger layout that’s meant to be more interactive while entertaining. Nowadays, grazing boards can offer everything from your typical cheese and meat pairings to desserts, spreads, hors d ‘oeuvres and dips.

Eating the colors of the rainbow has never been so easy. One look at these platters and it’s easy to see why Petal and Platter has such a large following (we’re talking 13k + followers on Instagram). With the option to add edible flowers to your grazing board, there’s a good reason why it’s called Petal and Platter. And if you’re not into that, no worries.
