Season 7, Episode 10

Dear friends - over the past 7 years I have been sharing stories about people who make our community better through food as chefs, farmers, food banks, farmers’ markets, seed savers, food service workers, and food preservationists on my podcast and radio broadcast.  I want to help all of us in these hard times by sharing information about new ways that our food makers/ restaurants/ agriculture business or non-profits are adapting. Here are links to all of the farmers, farmers’ markets, food banks, and Second Harvest East TN that were covered in the latest episode of The Tennessee Farm Table.
