Farm to Table from Still House Restaurant

While the moonshiners at Short Mountain Distillery have been keeping bourbon and moonshine local since the post Civil War era, people all over the world have been benefiting from Canon county’s produce and livestock for just as long, which is why we thought we’d start “keeping it local.”

Beginning June 6, 2015, Short Mountain Distillery will be opening Canon County’s first farm to table dining experience, Still HouseRestaurant.  One goal of farm to table dining is to limit the impact people have on the environment.  By using produce and livestock from plants and animals locally raised right here in Canon county, Still House Restaurant will eliminate both the monetary shipping costs, as well as the eco footprint most restaurants leave after moving food over long distances.

Additionally, farm to table food doesn’t have to be sprayed with preservatives or even frozen to maintain freshness.  The result is a number of additional, naturally occurring nutrients in every meal. 

Farm to table restaurants also support local farmers.  Asparagus, beans, beets, carrots, okra, onions, potatoes, squash, apples, apricots, apples, blackberries, figs, beef, lamb, ham, pork, and a number of dairy products are all produced right in the heart of Tennessee, and much of it will be featured on our menu. Come taste the richness all of Canon county farming has to offer!

Plus, unlike our secret 150-year-old moonshine recipe, it’s no secret fresh food tastes, well, better.

Join us Sat. June 6, 2015 at 5pm for the grand opening of Still House Restaurant! Take a tour of ShortMountain Distillery, taste the difference 150 years of moonshining can make from one of our old time shiners, then explore Little Short Mountain Farm. Get away from the hustle and bustle of Nashville and big city living, and get back to your roots on our beautiful 300 acre farm, before joining us for an elegant farm to table meal in our grand banquet room. Original moonshine cocktails will be available throughout the night as well as live original music from local grass roots artists.
