Slow Food Atlanta is partnering with Farmer Delroy Dennisur of the Harvest Project, and Chef Demitrius Brown of The Heritage Supper Club to host a special farm to table dinner on August 27th on the beautiful Dennisur Farm property located in Power Springs, GA.

This farm to table dinner featuring an outdoor family-style dining experience, will center around the unique story of Motherland Okra, an heirloom crop originally descended from West Africa. This crop was originally introduced to the U.S via Jon Jackson, a retired U.S. Army Airborne Ranger and founder of Comfort Farms, a non-profit agriculture program focused on helping veterans to heal and learn sustainable farming practices. Motherland Okra will be a featured crop on the Dennisur Farm, which will be incorporated into our dinner menu, among other African and Afro-American inspired dishes and ingredients, celebrating the rich culture of the African diaspora, and the food traditions created, sustained, and transformed throughout this history.
