Late Bloomer – Arts & Ag – Part 2 – Episode 30 covers Kaye’s visit to Hickman County, Tennessee, over Memorial Day weekend. From locally grown foods and live music to handmade goods, the Arts & Ag Tour had it all! Local photographer Cindy Sarlo captured all 25 exhibitors over Friday and Saturday. Check out her Arts & Ag photos here. In Part 2, Kaye heads out to Little Lot Lavender Farm where Christy and John Porch are restoring a log house and growing lavender. Kaye gets a taste of candied lavender.
