My good friend and neighbor Kelli invited me to share her tent space at the 2016 Tomato Arts Fest in East Nashville, TN. If you haven't heard of or attended this one-day event, it is a fantastic community-oriented day of tomatoes, art, and music. The day started slow and I was getting nervous. The tasting party went amazingly well. I got great feedback but...
Then, much to my delight, customers started stopping by, asking questions, taking a taste and...you guessed it...buying them. That's right. Strangers liked our jellies. I was making money for something that I loved and believed in. Game on!
