brick and tin + Snow's Bend Farm

The roots of this friendship run back to 1997 when David and Mauricio Papapietro, owner of Brick and Tin, met in college at Sewanee. 

In 2004, when David and I returned to Alabama following our internship in Washington state and set out to begin our farming career in earnest, Mauricio was beginning his career as a chef.  We have attended each other’s weddings and watched our families grow together.  
​
When he opened Brick and Tin, we already had a great relationship. 

​Mauricio has been to the farm several times over the years.  On Sunday, he was joined by his family and the crew from Brick and Tin.  

​As we walked the fields and shared a picnic by the river, we talked about farming and how we can continue to cultivate this already strong partnership.

​It is clear that Mauricio and everyone at Brick and Tin care deeply about sourcing the best quality produce and are committed to supporting local farms.

​We had a blast and hope they will come back again soon! 
In the meantime, I highly recommend you visit them at one of their two locations; in downtown Birmingham and Mountain Brook.
