I probably should not be overly effusive, but what the heck, I can’t help myself: The shindig Sunday afternoon at Whitton Farms in Tyronza, Arkansas, was a blast, or as my husband Tony said, “This is one of the coolest things I’ve done in years.”
Despite the heat and drive, more than 300 people (families, kids, hipsters, locavores of all types) showed up at the first annual “Whitton Farms Feastival,” an event dreamed up by Jill and Keith Forrester to promote locally-grown food and raise a little extra cash for farm equipment and the Memphis Farmer’s Market.
