Cheeseperience alert 🚨 After four delicious yea

Cheeseperience alert 🚨 After four delicious years of serving up fresh, artful charcuterie, @meatandgraze is setting off on their next adventure — growing their catering business to new heights in Durham! There’s still time to savor their incredible grazes, “Sand-Cuterie” Boxes, and more this weekend; join us in celebrating their final day of service at Boxyard RTP on Saturday, Nov. 1. 🍓🧀🥖

As owners Aya and Deion Dorsey shared, their catering business has officially outgrown their space here at Boxyard — an exciting milestone worth celebrating. They’ve expressed deep gratitude for the love and support from the RTP community over the years, and the feeling is mutual. 🫶

Meat & Graze will welcome catering inquiries for their new Durham space; perfect for corporate lunches, backyard hangs, elegant weddings and everything in between.

Founded in 2020 as Durham’s first cheeseboard company — and one of Boxyard RTP’s original vendors — Meat & Graze has always embodied connection and the art of gathering. Watching Aya bring her passion to life has been inspiring, and the Boxyard community is so thankful for the creativity and warmth she’s shared with us.

Thank you, Meat & Graze, for filling our world with flavor, connection and heart. We’ll miss you, no doubt, but know that the entire Boxyard community is cheering you on! 👏

Big congrats to @lawrencebarbecue on the grand ope

Big congrats to @lawrencebarbecue on the grand opening of their new full-service spot in downtown Cary! 🎉

From their early days slinging trays at Boxyard to building a brick-and-mortar dream, it’s been an honor to be part of their journey — and a reminder that in RTP, big ideas take flight, whether in science, startups or smoked brisket.

We’re glad their 'cue is still just a hop, skip and a jump away, and we’re so excited for what’s ahead for our Boxyard community.

For everyone wondering… stay tuned for who’s moving in. Any guesses? 👀

We had a blast experiencing art hands-on and meeting some of the area’s most talented artist at Saturday’s Live at Boxyard!

Huge shoutout to everyone who joined us to celebrate local art as well as to all our artists for sharing their passion with our community.
