Thomas "will dispel myths about certain supplements, make suggestions about ways to use them, offer suggestions for home remedies, and discuss steps to a healthy heart," according to the store's announcement. The class is scheduled for 6 p.m. this Thursday, Feb. 9, and 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 11.
Classes are free, but you need to register in advance, and seats are limited. For registration and info, contact Kathryn Johnson at kathryn@theturniptruck.com. Class participants will receive a 10 percent discount on groceries purchased at the time of the class, plus a $5 gift card toward grocery purchases during a return visit. The offers are valid only in the Gulch store, not at the original Turnip Truck in East Nashville.
Classes will continue on the second Thursday (6 p.m.) and Saturday (10 a.m.) of each month.
The next class, set for 6 p.m. Thursday, March 8, and 10 a.m. Saturday, March 10, "will concentrate on health food buzz words, including understanding the differences between organic, natural, and sustainable, as well as GMO stands for and why it’s important," The store says. "Future classes will focus on responsible meat and seafood sourcing, celiac disease and gluten-free foods, using local and seasonal produce with variety, beer tasting and pairing, and cooking with bulk items like trail mix and dried beans."
Turnip Truck Urban Fare is located at 321 12th Ave. S. in the Gulch, (615) 248-2000.

East Nashville nurtures the Turnip Truck for ten years, and now that they have their cool friends in the Gulch they couldn't care less about where they started.
I guess the one on Woodland Street is still OK if you like your produce all 2-3 days over ripe, your dairy out of stock, your meat selection pitifully poor, and your hot/cold salad bar to be... 6 miles away.
like
dislike.... and another thing: I'd much rather shop at the dirty old Eastland Kroger than Turnip Truck any day. At least Kroger isn't trying to be something it's not. Whatever, Turnip Truck... you're so fake, you belong in the Gulch. Kroger is way more East Nashville than you'll ever be. Seriously.
