AmericanPressTravelNews.com—August 21st,-Bob & Barb in Blue Ridge for– “On The  Road Again” and “Stopping to Smell the Roses” Columns.

Not very far from our Goose Holler’ farm inTennessee and about 2-hours from Atlanta can be found a very enjoyable vacation hill, mountain region and town called Blue Ridge, in Fannin County. There are so many interesting stores catering to what a visitor and new home owner would enjoy bringing home to decorate and or use in their abodes. After and before also peering into the windows and crossing the threshold of several gift and antique shops, we ventured into a premier harvest to table, local produce and foods emporium called; “Harvest On Main.”  It’s interesting to know that the owners; the Cook’s, purchased a 28-acre property and created a farm that is their culinary garden and teaching center—for the production of their specialty produce, as well as eggs and honeys.

They offer very fine farm to table dinners, plus farm to table classes for kids. There is much more on the horizon in the Cook’s desire to be as food independent and fresh with all manner of farm meats and other items for their restaurant.

Comfortable and spacious with a strong feeling of being in a mountain home.

We met Chef Danny, and his dishes are authentic and studied- delicious for diners. Danny does rely on all surrounding farms in and around Blue Ridge, as they also provide the special ingredients used by Chef Danny. We ordered on the menu lisiting, pecan encrusted Bramlett Farms of GA. Trout, Pecan Sweet potatoes, citrus Beurre Blanc with Lemon Arugala salad. And, we chose a special of the evening: Rockfish pan seared (Striped Bass) roasted Tomatillo and black bean soup with white rice finished with Avocado and corn salsa “multi belle.” The dishes were memorable and worth every cent!
