Apologies for being a little behind on getting out this November ‘happenings’ post, as this really awesome event is almost upon us! Tomorrow night my good friends Jason and Matt of Experience Nashville are throwing a little shindig at Bloomsbury Farm and there are just a handful of tickets left. Featuring a concert by Moon Taxi, there will be unlimited hors d’oeuvres by Mockingbird Chef Brian Riggenbach, and an all-you-can-drink bar with craft cocktails by the extraordinary Freddy Schwenk. Part of the proceeds benefit Food for the Hungry, specifically to train farmers in remote villages on how to sustainably and responsibly grow their own food.
