Olde Virden's Tennessee Pepper Company Artisanal Market

\*\*Season 8, Episode 44.\*\* December 18, 2021. In this episode, we are setting the table with a brand new artisanal food market in Knoxville, TN. This market is named Olde Virden's Tennessee Pepper Company Artisanal Market, and husband and wife Allyson and Chris Virden are behind this. This market showcases a variety of regionally made food products that are not necessarily found on shelves of larger stores. A marketplace to help growing food companies specializing in regionally-produced products to help grow their business.⁣⁣ In Fred Sauceman's Potluck Radio Series, he shares a mid-century food memory of Maude Shipley's Red and Green pear salad by way of her daughter Margaret Carr from the Central Community of Carter County, TN. And a note, none of the businesses at this market advertise with The Tennessee Farm Table.⁣⁣ Links: Olde Virden’s Tennessee Pepper Company: https://oldevirdens.com/ Fred Sauceman: https://www.facebook.com/fred.sauceman Lauren Claiborne: https://www.lcchalkworks.com/ Emi Sunshine (sings our theme song): https://theemisunshine.com/
