Today, we are setting the table with homemade pasta and sauces made with farm-raised ingredients - our guests are Dustin and Stacey Busby of DSB Provisions from Maryville, TN. DSB Provisions is a family farm where Dustin, Stacey, and their 3 kids grow fruits and vegetables, raise chickens and rabbits, make homemade pasta and sauces, and offer a personal chef experience.
We also hear from Mary Dee Dee Constantine on the topic of collards and her recipe for a quick meal using collard greens and angel hair pasta that she calls Asian Noodles and Greens.
Stacey is an executive coach who helps people realize their dreams and break boundaries. Dustin has a rich history of farming and culinary experiences.
Dustin is not a person who will toot his own horn, and I want to give you some background about him. He was born in Charleston, SC, and started as a dishwasher. He graduated from Le Cordon Blue, then onto the Woodlands in Charleston, SC, where he was promoted to Executive Sous Chef.
During his time there, Dustin spent his vacations staging at restaurants worldwide, including The French Laundry, The Fat Duck, and Le Manwar. He also has worked for many years at BlackBerry Farm in Tennessee, where he has served as farmstead manager and the Executive Sous Chef of the Barn. Dustin also spent a few years working on a Tennessee organic farm raising grass-fed beef, pastured poultry, and vegetables. He created a brand, turning all the farm had to offer into pickles, condiments, and salami and providing catering events. That gives you some of Dustin’s culinary background. He is also a great father. He and his whole family run their family farm. DSB Provisions is something that Dustin and his wife, Stacey, have been hoping to do for their family for a long time. You will most likely find them throughout the year at Farmers’ Markets in Knoxville and Maryville. They send out a weekly newsletter for pre-ordering and details of the markets they will be.
