Local farm gives Southern Living a taste of homegrown crops Southern Living magazine partnered with the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau for a farm-to-fork event, which celebrated local crops and ways to prepare them, May 17, at King Family Farm and Market. The magazine’s Contributing Editor Rebecca Lang demonstrated how to prepare four recipes from the magazine and her cookbook, “Around the Southern Table.” Harvest & Harmony attendees enjoyed peach-mint iced tea and boiled peanuts as they listened to music by a trio of country music bands from Nashville. For dinner, the Loft 5 restaurant prepared the crops grown at the farm for a table of 160 hungry guests. Photos by Amanda Sebastiano
