If you follow this blog regularly, you know that Heather and I come from a long line of farmers. Burnley Farm has been mentioned here on multiple occasions. If you've ever had food straight from the ground, you know the quality is exceptional. We all grew up on home-grown squash, kale, corn, tomatoes, and more, and some of my best memories are of feeding the calves or checking on the cows with Gee-Gee around and walking around Bet's garden with her. Sadly, living in Nashville is not conducive to getting Bet's home-grown veggies anyway. That doesn't mean I can't support the local farmers around here though. Yup, that means farmer's markets!

I adore farmer's markets, but you probably could have already guessed that about me. More than that, I have recently discovered CSA's. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Basically you pre-buy food from a farm. I discovered a really good one at the Richland Park/East Nashville farmer's market from West Wind Farms. West Wind is Certified Organic and offers a really good meat CSA, which Mike and I bought. Therefore, in honor of my farming ancestors and to put my new CSA products to good use, I am posting a family recipe for fried chicken...because you can't go wrong with fried chicken :-).
