The Turnip Truck Natural Market, Nashville’s locally owned, full service natural foods store, will celebrate 10 years of business with a community party on Saturday, October 29, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the East Nashville location, 970 Woodland Street, announced John Dyke, owner. This month also marks the one-year anniversary of the Turnip Truck Urban Fare store in the Gulch, 321 12th Avenue South.
The celebration, which is free and open to the public, will feature samples from some of the local vendors whose products are available at both Turnip Truck locations daily. Live music from local artists, activities for children and a grilling station with food for sample and purchase will be available. Customers also will have the opportunity to enter to win store gift certificates and other prizes.
The original store opened in May 2001 as East Nashville’s first locally owned, full service natural food store. Since day one of operation, the store has maintained that 100% of products sold are all natural and at least 95% of the produce is organic. The store offers locally grown or produced seasonal products by 48 local vendors. The Turnip Truck expanded to the Gulch in October 2010 and features a daily, freshly prepared hot and cold bar in addition to a variety of local, natural and organic groceries.

The Turnip Truck Celebrates 10 Year Anniversary
Wednesday, October 12th, 2011New Ice Cream Shop Opens in East Nashville
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011Jeni Britton Bauer, lauded by The New York Times, Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, and the Food Network as America’s pioneering artisan ice cream maker is opening a branch of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams in Nashville. Doors will open at 11 a.m. Friday June 24 at 1892 Eastland Avenue next to the Silly Goose and Ugly Mugs Coffee & Tea in East Nashville. A sneak peak of the new shop—with free scoops to the public—will be offered from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday June 23. Jeni’s President and Founder Jeni Britton Bauer will also be on hand that evening to share stories behind the flavors.
Since 2002, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, which are dipped in 9 Ohio shops and shipped (in pints) directly to homes across the country, has developed a hard-earned a reputation from customers and critics alike for hand-making uncommon ice cream flavors.
Jeni’s newest shop opens on the heels of Hot & Cold, a partnership between Jeni’s and Nashville’s Bongo Java Roasting Company that features select Jeni’s flavors.
The main ingredient in Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams—luscious, silky, sweet, butterfat-laden, cream from grass-grazed cows—comes from Snowville Creamery in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in southeast Ohio.
