A year and a half ago, Amelia Timms moved to Memphis with her husband, and it was while this culinary school grad was looking for a job on Craigslist that she spotted a for-sale listing for an old Chevy step van painted a “hideous maroon.”
“I had to have it!,” Timms says.
She does have that van, and it’s now a pretty bright green and in operation as Graze, a “farm to truck” food truck, serving up fare with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients.
Timms’ partners in Graze are Georgia and Pat Smith, owners of Club Windward, a reception facility and catering firm in Lakeland.
Timms was working at Windward, investing her paychecks in the van to get it food-truck ready. She says that Georgia overheard her talking about the truck and said, “I want in on it.”
