Great News out this week about the Nashville Farmer’s Market!!
The Nashville Farmer’s Market House and Restaurants will be open in early August!
They will first do a soft opening to make sure everything is up and running smoothly. But expect everything (except Swett’s and the Nashville Coffee Co..they have decided to go elsewhere) to up and fully running soon after.
And if you can’t wait till then. B&C BBQ is serving up hot pulled pork and barbecue chicken (as well as brisket on Tuesday and Friday) Monday-Saturday
from 11am-1pm. They have set up a tent just in front of the entrance of the Market House. So stop by, shop at the market and grab some bbq!

Have you been watching Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution on ABC? I have and I am hooked. The show follows famed British chef Jamie Oliver as he tries to change the school lunch program in Huntington, West Virginia. It is eye opening and scary what is going into the mouths of children across this country.
The television program is giving me one more reason to support an organization that is doing so much to change our food environment in Nashville, Manna-Food Security Partners. And their next event will be a great and FUN way to get involved.
Tayst is holding it’s 2nd Annual “School Lunch” Dinner. The dinner takes place on Monday, April 19th @ 6:30 pm
The creative menu will feature the favorite lunch dishes of the students at Glendale Spanish Immersion Elementary. Joining chef Barlow in the kitchen will be Laura Wilson of Holland House, Will Uhlhorn of F.Scott’s, Danny Maggipinto of Caffé Nonna and Guerry McComas of The Yellow Porch. Each chef has been given as assignment to transform a favorite school food into something fresh and unexpected.
The cost of the five-course dinner is $70 with $50 benefiting Mana-Food Security Partner’s Growing Healthy Kids initiative.
Call 615.383.1953 for reservations

I was just reading The Turnip Truck Times, the monthly newsletter from The Turnip Truck, and ran across this wonderful, healthy, and green way to dye Easter Eggs!
Who knew that boiling an egg with red onion skins would give you a pretty violet Easter egg!
Check out their website (theturniptruck.com) for complete instructions on how to dye eggs using ingredients that are already in your kitchen.
And if you need to stock up for you Easter Egg dying The Turnip Truck has local eggs from Mamushi Nature Farm and McDonald Farm.
