“Hidden Springs Honey”

Thanks to all of you who attended the inaugural event to celebrate
food for food’s sake! 32 guest gathered around in the JCT Kitchen
courtyard for a delightful experience of ambiance, exceptional conversation
and an unforgettable meal.  Love is Love farm, Judith Winfrey and Joe Reynolds
discussed their honey farm from the process to textures and flavors.
Chef Ford Fry served a savory 4 course intertwining the ingredient
of choice — honey.  The evening served our goal of a dash of new,

you’ve experienced something extraordinary!
