I know that we are all about the veggies but some of you might have noticed that Full Moon farms has been missing from our parade of beautiful food lately. Jason has been busy moving his farm to a new location and constructing a new restaurant in our own backyard. Athens farmer and restauranteur (Farm 255) is opening a casual place for you meat lovers right here in Decatur.
It’s called Farm Burger and the new business will feature burgers made with locally raised grass fed beef. Imagine picking up something quick that still allows you to think about where your food comes from. Even the interiors echo the mission of being sustainable and thinking responsibly as they work hard using re-purposed lumber and other materials to create a simple and warm dining space. Check out the exciting blog counting down to the opening.

Sometimes I think about all of us eating the same ingredients each week and wonder what you are making with the cabbage I am working through. Some of you are kind enough to share your thoughts and recipes with us. I love hearing from you. It really makes me realize what a community we are. Our community values are supporting local organic farming so it may flourish and if our local organic farmers flourish, they help us flourish with fresh healthy ingredients.
If you are wondering who we are, this community of people that want the freshest healthiest ingredients and also want to support our own local economy, well we are business women and men, we are homemakers, we are academics, we are students, we are musicians, we are artists and the list goes on. As a way to introduce you to part of your community, I want you to know what “we” are up to. I have decided to start posting different events here that some of you are involved in. I think you are all doing wonderfully interesting things and I want to support your efforts in any way possible.

Amandine has a new show opening on Saturday February 6th, 6PM to 10PM at Kibbee Gallery on Linwood Ave. Kibbee is off Ponce De Leon behind Felini’s pizza.
Here is the press release for the show to give you an idea of the theme:
“Amandine Drouet’s latest work explores the juxtaposition of diverse elements and its relation to the tension between beauty and decay. Motivated by the interplay between memory, loss and regeneration, Amandine created an imaginary garden incorporating photography, sculpture, installation and drawing- using everyday items that have been discarded or cast away. Amandine’s intent is to allow the viewer to bring his or her own experiences and personal narratives to the work.”
Hope to see you there!
