We're going national baby, and we're taking our friends with us!!!

Hi Friends,

We are less that two weeks away from our friends from Endless Feast TV coming for a visit. They will arrive at our farm next Thursday to interview Keith and myself. Then they will be visiting with the Underhills of Peace Bee Farms, Brandon Pugh of Delta Sol Farms, David Head of Nine Oaks Cattle Farm, and then a special trip to historic downtown Jonesboro to visit with Chef Lisa Godsey and Gray Hurt, owners of the fabulous restaurant Godsey's Grill! We are so excited we can't hardly stand it!

As many of you know we will be hosting two events on October 11. The first will be the Endless Feast Dinner (noon til 2:00). This dinner will be a 5 course gourmet feast prepared by Chef Lisa Godsey. Tickets are $75.00 each and we only have 9 left. This meal is especially cool because the bulk of the Endless Feast episode revolves around this wonderful meal. The dinner will seat 100 people, who will no doubt get their 15 minutes of fame! The Endless Feast episode will aire in April of 2010! Can anyone say "watch party"!

The next event on October 11, will be OCTOBERFEAST!!! Octoberfeast begins at 2:00 pm. We will have a dozen of the MidSouth's finest chefs on hand serving food for all attendees! Roasted pig, organic burgers, casseroles, salads, and desserts will abound! All food prepared for both events will be locally grown and prepared. Just another way to support our farmer friends!!!
Octoberfeast will feature local, live music provided by Bow Legged Rooster, and local art shown by: Betsy Brackin, Lynn Hamman, Stephanie Miller, and Heidie Carlisle. Arts and crafts along with lots of farm, fun -filled activities for kids and parents alike. Hope you can make it!!!
