On August 21st, 2017, Nashville Tennessee experienced a solar eclipse that swept across the entire United States. This scenario hadn't occurred in close to 100 years. In the path of totality Nashville experienced nearly two minutes of total darkness. Green Door Gourmet opened the farm gates to a crowd of over 2,000 attendees to enjoy this celestial event on a 350 acre organic farm. Guests explored 3 food trucks (Hattie B's, Califarmia, and Jeni's Ice Cream), lawn games, educational activities, live music from Wu Fei performing traditional Chinese sun songs, and tours through the sun flower fields.
Marketing efforts included radio promotion on Lightning 100, social media campaign, and printed materials around the Nashville area. Also featured on websites Visit Music City, Nashville Life Styles, Nashville Carpe Diem, and Now Playing Nashville.
