Robert and I had a great time at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, NC. Elm Street Gardens produce was voraciously consumed by Currey & Company customers and sales people. One afternoon 200 snack cups of fresh veggies featuring our carrots disappearing in fifteen minutes. At lunchtime dinosaur kale, Swiss chard wraps, lettuces and deviled eggs were a big hit.
The man in charge of these day long feasts, Mark Thrower, showed his creativity with his use of the fresh vegetables that came to North Carolina from our garden The origins of the food seemed to make a difference to many customers who commented and complimented us on it and loved the notion that the food came from our gardens. We are already talking about plans for an expanded Elm Street Gardens menu for next October's market!
