Nashville Grown

A long-time resident of Nashville, Elizabeth took the position of Executive Director after serving on the Board. She is a practicing attorney licensed in both Tennessee and California with an extensive background in general litigation, business disputes, land use conflicts, and water pollution.  Transforming into a farm advocate and local ‘fudist’ was the result of long discussions with the “Barefoot Farmer” (Jeff Poppen*), more than a few walks in Long Hungry Creek, and the opportunity to eat unadulterated food grown without the need for irrigation or chemicals. It tastes different for a reason. Every sale through NG cycles money back into Nashville’s farm community that Jeff and many others helped build and inspire.  Now, hundreds of thousands of dollars do not go to Canada, Mexico, or South America, but stay here. All great places to visit, but a tomato grown in healthy Tennessee soil beats any import.
