Welcome to the Southern Foodways Alliance -- an institute of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture with headquarters at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi. The Southern Foodways Alliance documents and celebrates the diverse food cultures of the American South. We set a common table where black and white, rich and poor -- all who gather-- may consider our history and our future in a spirit of reconciliation. Help the SFA build a solid financial foundation for its ongoing projects and annual events. |
CAMP CAROLINA: SEPTEMBER 7-9, 2007 --- Chapel Hill is where people have long come to immerse themselves in the study, preservation, and celebration of foodways, farming, music, pottery, and history. The weekend begins with self-guided Friday activities, both in Chapel Hill and nearby Hillsborough, and a cocktail and bluegrass gathering at the Carolina Inn, better known as the “front porch” of the University of North Carolina. Saturday starts with an early morning tour of the Carrboro Farmers Market, followed by a keynote talk from Ben Barker of Magnolia Grill and tales and music from Bland Simpson, UNC professor and piano player for the Red Clay Ramblers. Later, we split into three groups. Group Book n’ Eats will follow the lead of novelist Allan Gurganus and cooking instructor Sheri Castle at a Southern Season. Group Turner and Burners will visit the ceramic studios of Siglinda Scarpa and Rusty Sieck in nearby Pittsboro and hear from UNC professor and pottery expert Terry Zug. Group Mozz and Tomatoes still will tour Peregrine Farm and Chapel Hill Creamery. Eats and drinks will come courtesy of Sara Foster of Foster’s Market, Keith Allen of Allen & Sons Barbecue, Counter Culture Coffee, and others. Saturday night, Bill Smith of Crook’s Corner dishes a family-style summer supper of fried chicken and fixings. And Karen Barker leads a crew of talented bakers bent on handcrafted desserts made from North Carolina grown peanuts and sweet potatoes. And the North Carolina Wine and Grape Council, primary underwriter of this Day Camp, pours its best. After supper, we hear from John Dee Holman, storyteller, dancer, and Piedmont blues artist. Sunday morning means coffee at 3 Cups, a coffee café committed to all things local, breakfast noshes from Sandwhich, and goodbyes. Registration is priced at $150 per person.
