We've got some must-see TV tips for Sunday (tomorrow) and a great list of local resources to help you celebrate our first national Food Day on Monday, but first things first:

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our "Nourish: Food + Community" event! It was a great evening, and we owe a special thanks to our speakers: Amanda Vanhoozier, City of Coppell Community Programs (Gardens, Farmers Market, etc.), Marie Tedei, owner/farmer, Eden's Organic Farm/CSA; Sonia White, CitySquare; Cynthia Chippindale, Potager; and Steven Bailey, Urban Acres.

We also want to give and extra big thank you to Cynthia from Potager for not only treating us to some of her incredibly delicious chocolate cake made with locally grown organic beets, but also for reaching out to some of her local community producers - Eagle Mountain Farmhouse Cheese in Granbury, Sterling Lamb from Sterling City, and Burgundy Pasture Beef in Grandview - for some very yummy award-winning cheese and very tasty salami! And of course, we want to thank our host for the evening, KERA TV.

To help get you ready for Food Day, KERA-TV has put together a special line-up of programs for your viewing pleasure from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Make plans, set your DVR and tell/share with your friends! Brief descriptions below. Download all the details here.

It's under our feet and fingernails, but what is it? And how did it get here?
