This event, Nutrisha's first event of this scale, exemplified the Nutrisha concept. The week leading up to the day of the event I was in contact with known and unknown local food sources. Utilizing local food, supporting small farmers and using the freshest food possible is one of the main objectives of the Nutrisha concept. From the nutrition standpoint and culinary arts using the farm fresh local produce provides more nutrient efficiency and better flavor respectively. The food offerings were created with as much local in season produce as possible and provided a fresh concession option for participants and spectators. In the spirit of local economy and community the Eagleville Country Horse Show is an annual event that supports the Community Center which provides a free or low cost venue for activities in the small town.

Nutrisha Caters: Eagleville Country Horse Show
Five years ago this weekend I attended my first horse show on the arm of my tattooed Marine friend who later became my husband. It was this event that I first witnessed a five year old ride his pony over an obstacle course and still have the phone photos of my now ten year old brother in law. I have grown into and with this family and they have broadened and deepened my knowledge of not only the horse world but farming, Norwegian life and how to be a Marine wife.

Farm fresh berries for horse show concessions
Another trip to Bee Sweet Berry Farms, this time to secure supplies for a catering event...
Tuesday morning I called the fine folks at Bee Sweet Berry Farm in Lewisburg TN to find out if I would be able to use fresh berries. Good news! Raspberries were ready to be picked! Since I had met Ron on my previous trip to the berry farm I was pleased to be able to talk to and later meet Judi. When I first started this endeavor I imagined a scenario just like this: "Good morning, this is Trish from Nutrisha. I will be catering a horse show this weekend and would like to use some of your berries if you have any available". We chatted about the dark clouds forming in the area and how the rain makes the berries too fragile to pick and we would reconnect the next morning.

Coconut Icee!!
I love coconut!
So much so that everytime I come out to the Creekstone to work in the Test Kitchen I stop by the local market and pick up coconut gelato. Today at Starbucks, ordered a (In true veteran barista style) a "Tall Whole Milk Coconut Misto". The Barista behind the counter replied, "That sounds really good!". I of course agreed. Yes, the coconut syrup is not natural, but I had a babysitter for a couple hours and opted to indulge my coconut desire by way of Starbucks.
