WE ARE SURROUNDED BY FOOD AND BEAUTIFUL SETTINGS. SOMETIMES WE FORGET – EVEN WHEN WE ARE TUNED IN – HOW TREMENDOUS OUR OWN BACKYARDS ARE. down the mile-long drive on an unpaved mud road into the plantation. Along the drive, guests observe one of the largest compositions of virgin longleaf pine. After days of rain, riding down this mud road we experienced some hair-raising slipping and sliding. Misty fog lingers in the air. The trees are a lush, vivid green, like a watercolor painting. “If we had a chef here we would be doing things like this,” showing them the preserved beauty of the habitable wilderness. Box Hall Plantation was once owned by Nan’s godmother. She remembers the dinner table where she stepped on a buzzer beneath the table and wonderful food, like caramel cakes, would arrive. Carol is quick to point out natural beauty. A leaf that has fallen and collected small buds within its curls, spring ferns rising from the ashes of a prescribed burn. The knot in a tree that has been struck by lightning and the pileated woodpecker now making his home there. So, here I am now, trying to share all of this with you — but not too much. Driving down Highway 33, I hear the lyrics to Hoagie Carmichael’s Moon Country. With folk cooking things That melt in your mouth I realized that a connection to Southern tradition was what was missing from my own life these last few years. I was missing the natural settings all around, in our own backyard — the ones that we tune out as we focus on our advancement in our daily routine and reach for bigger city success. What was missing was addressing everyone by name as we pass each other on the sidewalk. What was missing was my connection with the simplicity of nature, natural growing vegetables from a vine, trees rooted for decades, plants that grow from a fire’s aftermath making the land just as beautiful as it was in its original state, flowers and bushes framing landscapes, and the inevitable sense of community that organically grows from gathering around a thoughtful dinner table.
