Local Table

Celebrating Homegrown Food, Folks & Farms From Tennessee

Current Issue ❯

Welcome to the 2019 Local Table Annual Resource Guide!
Find Local Table Magazine

Spring is sweet—the air smells like lilacs and peonies; cartons of luscious, juicy strawberries are making their way from farmers’ fields to our tables; and farmers’ markets across the region are welcoming the first of the season’s bounty! Every day, we wake up to unsettling news, the fracturing of world alliances, the demise of our republic and the devastation of our natural environment. It’s overwhelming for sure, but you can make a difference. More

Would You Like To Try Some Goat Cheese?

I’m a millennial who moonlights on weekends as a promoter of goat cheese!
My mission is to entice shoppers to sample this creamy, tangy, twangy delicacy form of cheese. Goat cheese is incredibly satisfying. There are many different types of goat dairy products, with goat cheese being the most well known. Chevre, pronounced “chev”, is the French (or fancy) name for spreadable, soft goat cheeses. These cheeses have a milder taste, but may come in many different flavors from sweet to savory. It doesn’t stop there; you can try goat Feta cheese, goat Gouda cheese and many rolled goat cheese logs. Goat dairy also includes goat cheese yogurt and goat milk. More
