Friday, September 16th, 2011Bean-to-bar chocolate maker of the South, Olive & Sinclair invites the public to visit the factory and taste its unique handcrafted stone-ground chocolate bars in house. The first tours will start on Friday, Sept. 30. at 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. and will continue every Friday. The tour introduces guests to the artisanal techniques executed by the Music City natives. Visitors will gain insight into the craftsmanship of traditional and modern chocolate methods, as well as savor the company’s award-winning delectable treats and new flavor creations.
Founded by chocolate-maker Scott Witherow, Olive & Sinclair employs a particular process while developing its smooth and robust flavor that is unique to Southern Artisan Chocolate ™. Tour groups will discover how certified organic and fair-trade, single-origin cacao beans from the Dominican Republic and Ghana are hand-sorted, slow-roasted and treated through timeless chocolate-making techniques. Using restored 1920s Mexican and European-style melangeurs, the cocoa butter is pressed through traditional methods and then mixed back into the other cocoa solids before the flavor is refined. Finished with pure brown sugar to create the signature character that is Southern Artisan Chocolate™, factory visitors are sure to be amazed by the complex and delicate process.
Factory tour tickets are $5.00 for adults and $1.00 for children and provide an educational and delicious chocolate experience. Cash only. For more information on tours, please visit www.oliveandsinclair.com or call 615-262-3007.

New Group of Local Chefs & Foodies Formed
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011‘Nashville Urban Gardeners’, a group of local chefs and foodies, has joined together to advocate awareness, knowledge, and the implementation of sustainable gardening and farming initiatives throughout Nashville.
Using a team of gardeners and supporters to promote a sense of unity, self-reliability, and accomplishment in the community through the team effort in the development of these gardens, Nashville Urban Gardeners is also an open network for like-minded chefs, gardeners, and food connoiseiurs to have an opportunity to collaborate on behalf of the community and wholesome food.
The first ground breaking of the group’s sustainable garden is planned for this Spring in Nashville. The first garden is planned for a senior living community that wouldn’t otherwise have access to organic produce. This will also provide therapeutic programming for the senior residents, an abundance or organic produce for use in their food operation, and lay the framework for the continuity of a farm to table program for the community. The mission is to implement these gardens throughout Nashville. This initiative is being led by local Nashville Chef Brandon Frohne with collaboration from Dr. Jim Daniell, former owner of Hawk’s Nest Winery of New Zealand.
The group will hold a meet and greet on February 26th at 11:00 am at Park Manor to introduce everyone, tour the proposed garden, and inform everyone of volunteer dates, groundbreaking date, donations, etc.
