TennesseeFarmTable.com

Today, we are setting the table with slow food. Food that takes time to grow and time to prepare. Guests today are Sarah Bush from Slow Food TN Valley, Rachel McCroskey of Four Daughter’s Farm of Walland, TN - and Josh Lowans with his wife Meagan’s recipe for cornbread salad. Sarah will tell us about the international organization called Slow Food and the TN Valley Chapter of this organization - and Rachel McCroskey, a young farmer, will let us know about her family farm called Four Daughters Farm and how they farm. And Josh Lowans is also a farmer, forager, and a man of the woods - he works for Salubrious Farms in Walland, TN, and he walks us through how to make cornbread salad - with these tomatoes in season right now - it is the best time of the year to enjoy cornbread salad. I also had some news about the upcoming Appalachian Homecoming event on the first weekend of August, with many farmers and chefs discussing modern Appalachian cuisine and farming.
