CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Food Initiative will host the sixth annual Fine Fettle on Saturday, September 28 at Old Glory Distilling Co. Each year the non-profit organization partners with critically acclaimed culinary leaders to create a one-of-a-kind event in Clarksville. This year nine chefs from Nashville and Clarksville have come together to celebrate this farm-to-table experience.
Each dish is created showcasing locally sourced vegetables, fruits, and meats including those grown and raised on The Food Initiative’s 12-acre farm.
“We’re bringing some of the Nashville culinary scene to Clarksville for a night and creating a space that illustrates our mission of growing healthy food, empowering lives and building community,” says Regina Hampton, Program and Creative Director for The Food Initiative.
Guests of Fine Fettle will enjoy hors d’oeuvres from Clarksville’s own Strawberry Alley Ale Works and then sample savory tastings from seven chefs and sweet treats from another two chefs.
Partnering chefs include Chef Bryan Weaver of Butcher & Bee and Redheaded Stranger, Chef Jordan Arcuri of Kayne Prime, Chef Joe Denomme of Ole Red, James Beard award winner Chef Tandy Wilson of City House, Chef Daniel Gorman of Henley, Chef Nathan Duensing of Marsh House, Chef James Mott of Chartwell’s at APSU, Pastry Chef Lisa White of Marsh House, and Pastry Chef Rebekah Turshen of City House.
Proceeds raised from Fine Fettle will support The Food Initiative’s Summer Youth Program, a youth development program for local high school students and on-the-farm educational field trips for Preschool, Elementary, and Middle Schools. By growing healthy food, The Food Initiative is playing a positive role in the lives of young people in our community.
Tickets to Fine Fettle are $150 and include hors d’oeuvres, locally sourced tastings, dessert, elevated wine pairings, signature drinks, and a silent and live auction.
A limited amount of tickets still remain. Ticket can be purchased online at The Food Initiative’s website.
