Hey there!
We’re Jill and Steve Harrington, and we’d love you to join us for a meal here in the heart of beautiful Sparta, North Carolina.
Food and family are inseparable for us.
Jill’s love of baking and entertaining started early, working in her family’s restaurant in the New York Finger Lakes. Steviemack has a deep connection with pan-American and southern food traditions as well as a love for Asian cooking techniques; which he learned while living in Hong Kong. He’s spent his cooking career in kitchens all around NC; including: Liberty Oak, Southern Lights, The Dixie Grill and Deluxe. The couple's most recent restaurant endeavor was Steviemack’s International Food Co., a beloved Wilmington NC Food Truck.
Along with our children (Hannah and Henry) and Jill’s parents, we made Sparta our home because this close-knit community full of music, art, and natural beauty is as welcoming as our family table. Our kitchen and dinner table are where we nourish ourselves and where we connect with family and friends. We hope you feel that at our restaurant.
At Little Seed, you’ll find Jill’s freshly-baked breads, pastries, and desserts as well as Steve’s eclectic, globally-inspired breakfast and lunch menu to enjoy in-house or take home.
Whether you’re a local or just traveling through, we hope you’ll stop in for a beverage, a bite, and some hospitality.
