Celebrating The People Who Bring Us Homegrown
Food From Tennessee Farms
Local Table is dedicated to
celebrating the small farmers and other folks who bring us homegrown food from
Tennessee farms. Our goal is to support a community that
celebrates every meal and is thoughtful about where we live and
how we eat. When we eat locally raised food, we can literally
ensure the continuation of the family farm, protect our rural
green spaces and support a food system that brings a steady
supply of fresh, healthy foods to our towns and
cities.
WE WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND HEALTHIER, AND TASTIER FOOD FOR YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY. We offer easy and varied choices. You can choose
catagories like farmers markets, wineries, retailers, or products, or
select counties, or search the whole database. You can even combine a
leisure day trip in our beautiful countryside with a gourmet
destination. We hope you can use the guide, along with the magazine,
as a resource to the agricultural bounties of Middle Tennessee.
We are looking for farmers growing crops, or anyone we
may have missed. If you are not included in this guide and
would like to make sure your farm, farmers market or retail
operation is listed in the future, please get in touch. You
can call Lisa at 1-615-677-6645 or lisa@localtable.net or
use our online form.
Here's a list of establishments that distribute Local Table
Magazine. We try to keep all locations supplied all the time
but we're only human - if you don't find Local Table at a
particular location ask for it by name - if they are out email us and we'll do
our best to re-supply them. If you can't find a location near
you we also offer subscriptions.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO A BAD MOOD OR A STRESSFUL SITUATION? IF YOU
RESPONDED "GRAB SOMETHING TO EAT," THEN WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON!
My name is Kristen and I'm a twenty something health professional who

healthy means taking care of myself every day: being active and making
smart food choices. I look for ways to respond to stress that won't
make me feel guilty the next day! Enjoy these tips for managing food
and mood!
with Sandor Katz.
If you are a novice, Katz encourages you to start where he did, by
fermenting vegetables from your garden. "None of this is rocket
science," Katz says, explaining that successful fermentation processes
are "ancient rituals that our ancestors figured out through trial and
error." |More|
Beer is the third most consumed beverage in the world, ceding the top
spots only to tea and, well... water. Nashvillians are fortunate to have three local breweries to choose
from. All feature unique, award-winning recipes, cozy, comfortable
accommodations, and a focus on local ingredients... |More|
Ms Cook is enthusiastically committed to the discovery and enjoyment
of locally grown and crafted foods. As a child, she would take on an
alter ego and pretend to be 'ms cook,' appreciating farm to
table meals in her Grandparents' kitchen or chatting with her
parents over a bowl of homemade ice cream. |More|
Go with Katherine as she explores the bountiful produce of middle
Tennessee, choosing local ingredients to whip up a meal, or seeking
out a local restaurant when she happens to "forget" to go to
the farmer's market. Follow her as she makes the Local Choice.
Tennessee has always offered
healthful choices for the table - for generations most people
grew their own! But in recent years knowing exactly where to
locate all that healthful bounty became less obvious. Lisa
Shively, a successful Nashville publicist, saw this less as a
personal challenge than as a community opportunity. Now, with
husband Dale Cox, longtime friend and designer Bob Delevante,
and other friends and colleagues she designs and distributes a truly helpful and definitive guide to all of
Middle Tennessee's farms, foods, and agricultural
goodness... |View Larger|
