Field of Greens

A few months ago I did a vendor table at what is called The Feild of Greens. It took place on a nice organic food farm just outside of Walnut Grove, Gerogia.  This was an all day event that is certainly family friendly with food, music, games for kids, and about 1,000 people who are all interested organic foods. A dozen or so of Atlantas best chefs were there cooking  some awesome foods for tasting, wine was given away for tasting and many items were given away at the end of the day in a raffle/drawing. Sometime during the day a big beer truck was brought in and it became a very relaxed atmoshpere with kids able to roam freely on the property along with dogs of many kinds. Everybody was looking out for everyone with mutal respect and no rudeness was observed, all kids and pets were safe where ever they were on the property.  Most of the other vendors were arts and crafts, organic food farmers and vendors, and other people like myself who are eco-friendly in our work with our own customers. Plenty of parking was available, the weather was warm with a little overcast and a slight breeze, and the day was a great success for me and the other vendors as well. Most of the arts/crafts people and the food farmers were doing demonstrations throughout  the day and hoping to make new customers for themselves.  A lot of organic food was tasted and purchased by the end of the day and I personally think everyone went away happy and glad they had come to the event.  Just as things were unwinding for the day, a few clouds came up and we had rain at closing time. This was the 14th annual  Feild of Greens and will occur again in mid September, 2010, mark your claendars accordingly.  I will certainly be back.
