  Tasia Malakasis, owner of Belle Chevre, left a successful career in the software industry to move home to Alabama and make goat cheese.  In a humble creamery on the outskirts of Huntsville, Belle Chevre turns out artisan goat cheeses that have been honored by the American Cheese Society more than 50 times.

  Whole Foods Market is proud to support the important work of Jones Valley Urban Farm in downtown Birmingham.  Though we are currently unable to carry any products from Jones Valley Farm in our stores due to the high neighborhood demand for the garden’s modest output, we support in other ways.  We regularly contribute food and drink to fundraising events and dinners and make our store available as a venue for educating our customers about the JVUF mission.  Recently, we have partnered with the Southern Foodways Alliance to fund a film that tells the Jones Valley Urban Farm story.
