“Our dream evolved over time and has come to fruition,” said Dustin Dayberry, Owner of Polk & Paddle. “The community support has been overwhelming, not only from Batesville and Independence County. But also from other establishments like ours have been forthcoming and offered us advice along our journey. Our community extends far beyond our city and county boundaries.”
Dayberry continued by recognizing the collaboration with Lyon College and extended his gratitude for the support they have felt. “We look forward to seeing customers come again and again. It is not just a place to eat; it’s an experience.”
