Instructions
- Keep cheeses and meats chilled until just before serving, ideally in a cooler with ice packs.

- Wash grapes and apples thoroughly. Slice apples into thin wedges and toss lightly in lemon juice to prevent browning. Cut figs into halves or quarters if using.
- Place candied pecans or roasted nuts in small bowls or scatter in clusters on the board. Arrange crackers or baguette slices in small stacks.
- Spoon honey and grainy mustard into small bowls. Arrange olives similarly. Add fresh herb sprigs around the edges for aroma and visual appeal.

- Drizzle a little honey over soft goat cheese just before serving. Garnish with a few fresh herb leaves.
- Serve with small plates or napkins and encourage sharing and conversation.
Notes
Keep ingredients chilled until serving to maintain freshness. Use airtight containers or beeswax wraps for packing. Assemble just before eating for best presentation. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crackers and check cured meats for gluten additives. For vegetarian variation, omit meats and add nuts, roasted chickpeas, or marinated artichokes.
