A Ride to Remember

“What better way to spend a summer Sunday than to tour the back roads of Nashville”
It all started with mimosas; the day was a guarantee for success. Before you can even check-in with the Nashville Farmers’ Market, Tour De Farm, a line of welcoming faces are offering you a sausage biscuit, coffee and morning cocktails—a simple taste of what’s to come. The leading ladies of Les Dames, an international organization created to support culture to achieve excellence in food in their communities, hosted their third annual Tour De Farm this summer. This year, the tour featured unique artisans, chefs, and farmers from the Nashville area and treated their guests with a ride to remember.
We kicked it off at the market with two of Nashville’s uniquely operated farms in the market’s “urban residency.” David Goodman of Rally House Farms, the first Nashville-based urban hydroponic farm, gave everyone a peek inside the recycled insulated shipping container placed smack dab center of the market. Matthew Bass of Bass Farms greenhouse let everyone taste his microgreens to educate the gang on where his food comes from before we hopped on a bright pink bus to tour the rest of the list.
