Celebrating The People Who Bring Us Homegrown
Food From Tennessee Farms
Local Table is dedicated to
celebrating the small farmers and other folks who bring us homegrown food from
Tennessee farms. Our goal is to support a community that
celebrates every meal and is thoughtful about where we live and
how we eat. When we eat locally raised food, we can literally
ensure the continuation of the family farm, protect our rural
green spaces and support a food system that brings a steady
supply of fresh, healthy foods to our towns and
cities.
THE LOCAL TABLE FARM GUIDE IS A TESTAMENT TO STRENGTH AND
RESILIENCE OF OUR LOCAL FARMERS; THEIR HARD WORK AND TENACITY.
The ever increasing list of farmers included in Local
Table is evidence that farming is still alive in our region.
We hope you can use this guide, along with the magazine,
as a resource to the agricultural bounties of Middle
Tennessee.
We are looking for farmers growing crops, or anyone we
may have missed. If you are not included in this guide and
would like to make sure your farm, farmers market or retail
operation is listed in the future, please get in touch. You
can call Lisa at 1-615-677-6645 or lisa@localtable.net or
use our online form.
Here's a list of establishments that distribute Local Table
Magazine. We try to keep all locations supplied all the time
but we're only human - if you don't find Local Table at a
particular location ask for it by name - if they are out email us and we'll do
our best to re-supply them. If you can't find a location near
you we also offer subscriptions.
NEW YEARS' EVE IS NOT THE ONLY TIME FOR AN "OUT WITH THE OLD
AND IN WITH THE NEW" CONCEPT. Summer is here! Warm weather
means more family picnics, cookouts, and ball games. It's
time to throw out the old high calorie dishes, introduce new
ways to spice up the old favorites with fewer calories, and
get in shape with fresh fruits and vegetables.
YOUNG ROBERTSON COUNTY, TN FARMER STACY GENY CAME BY FARMING
NATURALLY. While some kids get their feet wet in a career by going off
to school, Stacy got his hands dirty instead. Local Table Magazine
takes a look at Stacy's Paradise Produce. Directed by Moses Maxen and
Mark Kendall.
Ms Cook is enthusiastically committed to the discovery and enjoyment
of locally grown and crafted foods. As a child, she would take on an
alter ego and pretend to be 'ms cook,' appreciating farm to
table meals in her Grandparents' kitchen or chatting with her
parents over a bowl of homemade ice cream. |More|
Go with Katherine as she explores the bountiful produce of middle
Tennessee, choosing local ingredients to whip up a meal, or seeking
out a local restaurant when she happens to "forget" to go to
the farmer's market. Follow her as she makes the Local Choice.
Italian Green Squash, I Mean Zucchini, Anyone?
As recently as thirty years ago, our beloved zucchini was usually
called Italian green squash, and was little known in the United
States. Today, it is not only widely recognized, but a particular
favorite of home gardeners, due in large part to being easy to grow
and to its culinary versatility. |More|
Got a jones for scones?
Sweet 16th offers baked goods and desserts to suit every taste, from
cheddar cheese scones to the "Is it a brownie or is it a cookie?"
(Answer: Brookie.) Located at 16th Street and Ordway Place, the
bakery's layout makes for a welcoming intimate corner, with generous
windows streaming sunlight. |More|
We hope you can use this website, along with the magazine, as a
resource to the agricultural bounties of Middle Tennessee. We'll keep
our event section up to date with any festivals, fairs, conferences
and other gatherings we feel may be of interest to those interested in
food and farming. We'll also be adding blogs from our editors where
they'll be speaking to you about issues of interest, talk food or
gardening. Please feel free to keep in touch with us to pass along
news you feel may be of interest to others, recipes, or comments to
make Local Table a better place to meet.
