In 2024 McKinney Farm had the incredibly good fortune of hosting several Edible Nashville Farm Dinner events. Edible dinners have become a part of the Nashville food culture. For a decade now, Jill Melton and her Edible Nashville team have been creating magical seasonal dinner events at small local farms, shining the spotlight on the efforts of the small farmer. It's hard to capture in words all the joy, laughter, distress (we had not one but two floods!), friendships made, incredible food served and magical table settings created. With all set within the magnificent backdrop of the Big East Fork valley, each was a masterpiece!

 

Thank you so much, Edible Nashville, for bringing such extraordinary evenings to so may lovely people. And thanks to all the wonderful people that made them possible: Chef Chris Crary & Chef Tyler of  1Hotel/1Kitchen, Chef Danny White and Chef Sean White of Audrey Nashville and edible Chef, Skylar Bush, Ten Speed Press, Balsam Hill, Blacklion Vodka, House of Mustaine Wines, George Dickel, Liba Spirits & Sprouts, Alison Bryant Florals, One Coffee, Silt & Pine Calligraphy, Music: The Gubernaughts & Elle Jae McCaul, Photography: Sam Frawley, Erica Calhoun & Angela Presto, and, of course, all the wonderful volunteers.
