Conversation Bites / Farmers' Markets / News Lunch and Learn with Martha
Posted by Nicki Wood on Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 10:23 AM
Why is it cheaper to get peaches from Mexico than Kentucky? Why is it so rare to find the cheapest, most sustainable fish -- herring -- for sale? And what the hell are all those ingredients in frozen entrees?
Martha Stamps will answer at least some of those questions at the first Lunch and Learn at the Farmers' Market on Tuesday at 11 a.m. Stamps is a high-profile caterer and proprietor (until a couple of weeks ago) of Martha's at the Plantation, the beloved Southern and locavore eatery at Belle Meade Mansion that carved out a place for itself among foodies and neighbors alike.
The lunch, probably cooked by Martha and priced at $15, is the first of six consecutive Tuesday Lunch and Learns at the Farmers' Market. Other topics, which will doubtless raise standards and questions as well as hackles, include the tangled world of "organics," heirloom plant varieties and a final program on the family table, stewardship and social justice.
For a reservation--which helps organizers get a head count--call 322-5638. But if you want to go and didn't make a reservation, go on. They'll be glad you came, and so will you.
