From Seed to Celebration: Song, Dance, and Story in Food Traditions, Saturday, December 5, 3:15 PM

In 2010, Jeremy founded Nashville Foodscapes, and in 2014, he co-founded Compost Nashville. As of January 2021, Nashville Foodscapes became a worker-owned cooperative. Jeremy's journey as an entrepreneur has allowed him to witness the value of leveraging our current systems and capital to create new ones that are more equitable and harmonious. He is a community-resilience enthusiast and believes in the power of a localized economy and an inspired, well-fed community. Nashville Foodscapes is a full-service design/build foodscaping company. Our mission is to cultivate biodiverse and nourishing landscapes in Middle Tennessee. As a worker-owned cooperative, we practice just and abundant relationships to food, land, and labor. We strive to honor the past, improve the present, and embrace our responsibility to the future. Compost Nashville is a food waste pick-up service for residential and commercial customers. We take our clients' food scraps, turn them into soil, and give them finished compost in return.
