The taste of home, Harvest Table opens doors in Meadowview

Meadowview

Sherman Lamie walked into The Harvest Table, opened the menu and saw his name. 
He’s not the only local farmer with his name there. There are a handful of others.
About 15 years ago, Lamie found three cushaw squashes growing in his back garden. Though he didn’t know how they got there, he saved the seeds, and every year raised a new generation of the squash to make pies. His cushaw/butternut pie became a family favorite. This year, however, you don’t have to be a family member to get a taste. Anyone eating at The Harvest Table, which opened last month in Meadowview Square, can enjoy it. At least for as long as squash is in season.

The wood is worn between the first three frets and the shell inlay, grooved from decades of metal grinding on wood.
The neck itself is thin from a hand slipping back and forth.
Across the right corner, in a small, neat and faded script, reads, “Sincerely Jimmie Rodgers.”
