Hungry travelers have a new guide to satisfy their appetites for unique flavors in north and central Alabama thanks to the “Bon Appetit! Bon Appalachia!” trail campaign. A project of the Appalachia Regional Commission’s (ARC) Tourism Council, the trail winds through 13 states and features 283 farms, restaurants, farmers markets, festivals, wineries and breweries in the Appalachian region.

The Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association (AMLTA) hosted a celebration at Belle Chevre, a goat cheese creamery and shop in Elkmont, to highlight the 64 trail sites in Alabama.

“People want to find agritourism locations and local foods,” Lawrence County farmer Larry LouAllen said. “I think this new map will be a tremendous help connecting us with more people.”

LouAllen is a sixth-generation farmer who grows produce, including strawberries and peaches, and raises beef cattle. His LouAllen Farms and the Lawrence County Farmers Market, where he sells produce, are both featured on the trail.

AMLTA President Tami Reist said the campaign brings a needed focus to the state’s Appalachian region.

“This new map celebrates food, but it’s also about teaching the importance and value of entrepreneurship,” Reist said.

The “Bon Appetit! Bon Appalachia!” trail map was published in the summer 2014 issue of Food Traveler Magazine. However, ARC officials plan to update the trail website, visitappalachia.com/bonappetitappalachia, with additional locations.
