THE SUPPER CLUB

Daffodil Projects aims to study the history and ecology of migration patterns in and out of the American South, centered around the Natchez Trace, an old buffalo trail turned trading route that was originally used by several Native American groups to trade goods from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Cumberland Plateau. The route continued to be used by settlers, and was one of the largest trade arteries in the United States until the mid 19th century.

The name Daffodil Projects, comes from the Historic Daffodil Project at Old Town, a patch of daffodils planted in the 1940s beside the Natchez Trace in Franklin, Tennessee by my great great grandmother, Virginia Puryear Goodpasture. Daffodil Projects aims to use southern techniques, in combination with techniques from other cultures that utilize those same ingredients.

It is our goal to create a map through food that shows the movement of ingredients and peoples to and from the South.
