Windy Corners at the crossroads of Muir and Bryan Station Rds.
Windy Corners?Â
Â
In the far nothern reaches of Fayette County, where Bryan Station meets Muir Station, the old corner Food Mart has disappeared, and today only a gravel field and empty lot stand.Â
Yet there is a breath of fresh air.  Folks from Gainesway Farm have purchased the lot and are collaborating with local architects at thoughtSPACE  to create a new ‘green’ development called Windy Corners, with plans to include a store, restaurant, and farmer’s market. According to the thoughtSPACE website, the restaurant is “another brainchild” of Ouita Michel, chef and owner of the the Holly Hill Inn in Midway since the year 2000. Hopefully, the resulting project will be a LEED certified building, a model for supporting local agriculture, and a fun place to find great food in a country atmosphere.  Stay tuned.Â
My husband and I run Berries on Bryan Station, a farm and CSA that is about 100 yards from Windy Corner. We welcome this new green venture! Perhaps we can supply some organic produce to the restaurant. The concept of a farmers market is interesting as well.
