beautiful radishes from Love is Love Farms
Among the many hit hard by the recent ATL flood are Joe Reynolds and Judith Winfrey of Love is Love Farms. Wonderful farmers, you could find their produce at The Local Farmstand in the Westside Provisions District, as well as the Peachtree Road Farmer’s Market every Saturday.
Farming, marketing, and selling local produce is a challenge unto itself, and their contribution to the local and slow food scene is immense. It really bums me out to see the photos of their farm and read about the extent of the damage in the New York Times. I love buying from them as often as I can – everyone I’ve met associated with Love is Love is super friendly to me, and their food is awesome. I’d hate to seem them become a casualty to this disaster.
It appears I’m not the only one – plans are already being put in place to help raise money for their cause. Early word is that Woodfire Grill (and current Top Chef contestant Kevin Gillespie) will host a fundraising dinner for Love is Love on October 11th at 6PM. $100, 4 courses with wine pairings, with all proceeds going to Love is Love.
This is a wonderful cause, at maybe my favorite restaurant in town. See you there.
