Thanks for helping spread the word. We are really excited about sharing our regional flavors with folks and helping them figure out how to introduce more local foods into their routine. For more info visit www.trilliumohio.com.

Megan, I was just in Athens and at a couple of restaurants you might want to add to your tour or recommend to your guests for their meals on the own: Casa Nueva (40 W State) and The Village Bakery/Della Zona (268 E State), all of which focus on locally-produced ingredients. The Village Bakery also has a retail store which offers many local products. Restaurant Salaam (21 W. Washington) also sources some of their ingredients locally, especially their daily specials. All three restaurants are targeted at grownups and provide an alternative to the student pubs and national chains.
Hi Valeree...thanks for mentioning both Casa and Village Bakery and Della Zona. Part of the weekend will include gourmet pizzas from Della Zona using local ingredients including meats and farmstead cheese. Also, on Saturday after visiting the Farmer's Market we will be stopping at the Village Bakery for lunch and some shopping in their Undercover Market. Athens is a great place for Locavores!
