White Moon//Dark Moon in downtown Sylva, NC is run by Jonathan and Jillyn Rutt—partners in life and in the work of community building. Inspired by the natural rhythm of the day and the power of shared spaces, they’ve created a place that invites people to gather, talk, eat, drink, and be generally merry.

In this episode, the Rutts walk us through the unexpected journey that brought them to Sylva, how they’ve grown a regionally loved café, and why creating a true gathering place matters so much to them—and to Sylva.
