Flora De Mel. Meadery, Rossville Georgia.

Today, we are setting the table with Mead. My guest is Jay Martin, Co-Owner of Flora De Mel, a Meadery and full-service restaurant located in Rossville, GA, just over the state line of TN from downtown Chattanooga. Jay is a proponent of urban beekeeping. This business sprang out of his and his business partner and wife Stephanie’s beekeeping. And in this show, Jay will answer the question of …What a demijohn is. In Fred Sauceman’s Potluck Radio Series, he features the last surviving Blue Circle restaurant in Bristol, Tennessee.
