Local Purveyors

Salt | J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works

www.jqdsalt.com

They are from West Virginia and there is an amazing story behind it. It’s from a seventh generation West Virginia salt-making family who started making salt in 1817. It was chosen best salt in the world at the World’s Fair in London in 1851. We’re one of their first customers in this area and plan on buying a lot of their inventory.

Sorghum | Joe Trapp

He’s one of the few that grows old varieties of sorghum and cooks it the old-fashioned way. He’s also hard to get in touch with, which I kind of like.

Caviar | Kelley’s Katch

www.kelleyskatch.com

One of my favorite caviars in the country. It’s both sustainable and affordable.

 

Country Ham | The Hamery

www.thehamery.com

It’s one of the best Country Hams I’ve ever eaten.

Vegetables | Farmer Dave & The Barefoot Farmer

www.farmerdaves.net | www.barefootfarmer.com

The soil in Nashville really lends itself well to amazing vegetables with amazing flavor.

Beef | Double H Farms

www.thehermitagehotel.com/double_h_farms.aspx

It is extremely small scale, rare breeds, and the beef has an incredible depth of flavor, so much so that we took the bacon out of the burger at Husk Nashville.

Buttermilk | Cruze Family

www.cruzefarmgirl.com

We are using their buttermilk at Husk.

Whiskey | TN Whiskey

Nashville Farmer’s Market

It is open seven days a week, which is very rare, and it’s one of the best in the country. A lot of the same farmers that have been here for many years, so you get to know them, their seasons, whose strawberries and tomatoes you like the best. There are so many purveyors and also a beautiful nursery attached to it with lots of potted herbs and plants.
