Seasons Greetings!

We are very excited to offer Local Table's first holiday guide of local products and services for gift giving! This special issue is off the ground due to Local Table's association with the Nashville Farmer's Market. Thanks to their generous support you have our inaugural issue in your hands.

I think you'll find it as exciting as I do. What better way to celebrate the holidays with food and gift items made right here in Tennessee! From sinful sweets and glorious desserts from some of our area's best bakers and candy makers; savories and veggies straight from the farm and homemade artisan prepared foods such as wood fired oven bread, tasty sauces, fried turkeys, artisanal cheese, gift baskets, fresh seafood and incredibly healthy body care products for you and your favorites. There are also quality handmade items, catering services and unique boutique shops offering gifts for the body and soul. There's even something for the beloved family pooch.

If you're not into stuff, why not think about giving a gift membership or donation to one of our favorite community organizations? We're proud to offer such a unique and exciting selection of locally grown and locally made products and services.

It wouldn't be Local Table without a guide to seasonal farms and that means Christmas trees! It's easy to find a holiday tree during this season, but why not make a family event of it. Visit one of our local Christmas tree farms where you may also be able to take a hayride, visit with Santa, enjoy some hot chocolate and a campfire. You may even find some unique decorations and ornaments for your home.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
